"BJP has also issued a show-cause notice to Tunnaji Pandey in this connection," he said.

Pandey, who is a member of legislative council (MLC) of Bihar, was arrested at Hajipur railway station in Vaishali district by the Government Railway Police on the complaint of the girl, a police official said.

"According to the girl's complaint, Pandey tried to molest her and also misbehaved with her early on Sunday in a running train," police said.

Both were travelling in Purvanchal express.

Pandey, a criminal-turned-politician, is also known to be a member of liquor mafia of Uttar Pradesh.
