A man who claimed he exposed himself to ScotRail workers as a form of protest was jailed for 12 months.

Amir Andakhsh, 39, committed the crime at Glasgow's Bellgrove train station on February 10 2026.

Glasgow Sheriff Court heard that extra staff had attended the station due to disturbances on the previous nights.

Andakhsh was found at the station where he was "rambling in an incoherent manner" about CCTV, Interpol and football.

Prosecutor Danielle McGuinness said: "Andakhsh took his belt off, pulled down his trousers and underwear then exposed his genitals.

"He continued to shout about CCTV."

Andakhsh was warned that the staff had body cameras on which were recording him.

Andakhsh pulled up his trousers and continued to ramble to himself.

The police were contacted and Andakhsh was later arrested.

Andakhsh pleaded guilty on Friday to public indecency.

His lawyer Paul Langan told the court: "It was a form of protest and it did not last long.

"He was unhappy about his situation as he had become homeless and was not in receipt of benefits.

"There were no remarks of a sexual nature."

Sheriff Andrew McIntyre stated that there was a significant sexual element to the case and placed Andakhsh on the sex offenders register for 10 years as well as imposing the prison sentence.
