Five employees of the East Central Railway (ECR) have been suspended for allegedly misbehaving with Bihar MLA Sivesh Kumar and his wife on a moving train, sources said today. Action was taken against four Travelling Ticket Examiners (TTE) and a booking clerk as they had allegedly misbehaved with the BJP MLA and his wife in an AC two-tier coach of the Danapur-Howrah Express on Friday after the train left Patna. Two of the five were detained for questioning. Following a complaint filed by the MLA, the ECR set up a three-member panel comprising Additional Commercial Manager – Goods, Additional Operation Manager – Coaching, and Additional Safety Commissioner, Patna, to investigate into the case, sources said. The probe team has been asked to submit its preliminary report by tomorrow. PTI
