Ruling Janata Dal-United (JD-U) MLA Girdhari Yadav has been accused of kidnapping a 24-year-old youth from Deoghar in Jharkhand.
Yadav, who is a legislator from Belhar in Bihar’s Banka district, has been named an accused by the victim’s father Mahendra Prasad Verma.
Incidentally, Banka shares borders with Deoghar. Verma has charged Yadav, his brother Laldhari and eight others with abducting his son earlier this month.
Deoghar SP A Vijaya Laxmi said an FIR has been lodged in this connection. “The police are looking into the case with all angles as initial reports suggest old enmity between the two families,” the SP said.
Another MLA in soup
Meanwhile, the Railway SP, P N Mishra, in Patna issued summons to controversial JD(U) MLA Sarfaraz Alam, who was charged with sexual harassment of a woman passenger in Guwahati-New Delhi Rajdhani Express. Alam, who earlier maintained that he never travelled in the said train, was found boarding Rajdhani in the CCTV footage.
