Bhojpuri actor Raja Chaudhary was arrested today and later released on bail after creating ruckus outside a hospital here, police said.

"Chaudhary was drinking liquor in a car in hospital's parking area at around 1.30 am. Guards objected and asked him to go from there but he got into a scuffle with them," said Vidhya Prakash, SHO Jawahar Circle.

"After receiving information, our policemen rushed to the spot and arrested Chaudhary for disturbing peace," he said.

The police said that a local girl was accompanying him, who was sent to home in Malvia Nagar with her parents.

Chaudhary, former husband of TV star Shweta Tiwari, has starred in reality shows like Bigg Boss and Nach Baliye.

"Chaudhary has been booked under section 151 of CrPC for disturbing peace," ACP Malvia Nagar, Rajendra Singh, said.

He was produced before Police Executive Magistrate Narendra Singh and was released after posting bail.

Chaudhary was in the city to meet his brother.

It is not his first run-in with law. The former husband of TV star Shweta Tiwari, Chaudhary was previously arrested for beating his girlfriend in 2010. He has also attended a rehabilitation camp to control his volatile behaviour.
