Jawan held on molestation charge

An Army jawan was arrested on charges of attempting to molest a girl in a running train in Bihar's Begusarai district, GRP officials said on Wednesday.

Rajbir Singh Yadav in an inebriated state allegedly tried to molest a girl when she was asleep in UP Guwahati-New Delhi North East Express on Tuesday night.

Angry passengers soon overpowered him and later handed him over to the Government Railway Police (GRP) at Begusarai railway station when the train stopped here early on Wednesday, they said.

He was also thrashed by a group of passengers in the train, they said.
