The DN Nagar police station, where the charge was lodged, was asked to submit a report to the Magistrate Court.

The Magistrate summoned the accused to appear directly in court after observing that charges had been brought out against him under Sections 504 (intentional insult with purpose to provoke breach of peace) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code.
