JD(U) MLA Sarfaraz Alam held for misbehaving with couple

A day after Bihar’s ruling JD(U) suspended its legislator for allegedly misbehaving with a couple on a train, the Government Railway Police (GRP) arrested him on Sunday, police said.

“JD(U) legislator Sarfaraz Alam was arrested at the GRP station in Patna after he was questioned,” a GRP official said. Officials said the charges against Sarfaraj were found to be true.

The JD(U) on Saturday suspended



Sarfaraj, saying his conduct brought a “bad name to the party”.

Alam allegedly misbehaved with the couple aboard the Delhi-Guwahati Rajdhani Express.

Inderpal Singh Bedi and his wife, in an FIR registered at Patna railway station, complained that Sarfaraj, his bodyguard and an aide misbehaved with them on the train, an official said, adding they passed vulgar comments about the couple, who boarded the train from Delhi.
