Police said the FIR was registered on the basis of a complaint lodged by Muneshwar Prasad, Ariari block president of the RJD, against Minister of State for Rural Development Sanjay Singh and others.
Singh, a Congress member of the Rabri Devi ministry, is the son of senior party leader and Lok Sabha member Rajo Singh.
No arrests have been made so far, sources said.
Sheikhpura RJD chief Kashi Yadav was among the nine RJD activists killed when unidentified gunmen opened fire on them near Tatipul when they were returning to Sheikhpura from Barbigha.
The killing had sparked protests by RJD supporters who had set ablaze a few vehicles on Wednesday night and at first refused to allow the bodies to be lifted by the police.
Sheikhpura authorities faced a tough time pacifying the RJD men who allowed them to take the bodies for post-mortem and cremation only on Thursday morning.
The volatile situation was defused by Bihar ministers, including Shivanand Tiwari, Jagdanand Singh and Shyam Rajak, who visited the spot and announced a government job to an eligible member of each of the bereaved families and said the chief minister had assured adequate financial compensation to the dependents.
