The Araria district civil court issued the warrant after Alam, a ruling party legislator from the Jokihat constituency in Araria, failed to appear for the hearing of the case registered in 2002.

Alam is the son of Mohammad Taslimuddin, a senior JD-U leader and a former central minister.

“The court’s order will be executed,” said Araria Superintendent of Police Sandeep Lande.

Alam was booked in a case last year too, when he entered Nepal with machinegun-toting bodyguards without giving prior notice to Nepalese authorities.
