London: The Irish Police have dropped the blasphemy case against actor-comic Stephen Fry after they found that there was no injured party. The 59-year-old actor was being investigated by the Garda after a viewer filed a complaint against him for uttering anti-God remarks on a show that aired on Ireland's state broadcaster, RTE in 2015, reported BBC.com.
