Patna: JDU MLA Sarfaraz Alam, who has been booked for allegedly abusing a couple inside Rajdhani Express last Sunday, has been suspended from the party.
Breaking his silence over the issue Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said, "Be it MP or MLA, nobody is bigger than law. The police has freedom to act lawfully against those breaking law."
The passenger had alleged that the MLA was with his bodyguard and in an inebriated condition when he misbehaved with him and his wife.
Alam, son of RJD MP Mohammad Taslimuddin and a third-term MLA from Jokihaat in Araria district, has been summoned by police on Saturday to record his statement at GRP Patna by 5 PM.
Reports from Araria said the MLA has gone traceless. People at his residence in his village in Jokihaat and also in Araria said they were not aware of whereabouts of the MLA. Alam's mobile phone is also switched off.
Rail Superintendent of Police PN Mishra said, "We have given him time till 5 PM to appear and if he does not turn up by then the police will initiate lawful action."
An FIR was lodged against the MLA last Monday with the GRP for allegedly abusing a couple on board Guwahati-New Delhi Rajdhani Express.
