Security lapses came under fire in Bihar’s Darbhanga after thieves looted diamond-encrusted studs and an expensive wristwatch from BJP MLA Maithili Thakur’s mother’s vehicle. The crime unfolded on February 1 in Lala Patti, Ghanshyampur, during her attendance at a key local conclave.
Bharati Thakur, there with her politician-son, inadvertently left her purse behind in the car. Returning post-meeting, she found the container tampered with and treasures gone— a loss police peg at lakhs.
Ghanshyampur station registered the case without delay. SHO Alok Kumar detailed the probe’s kickoff, emphasizing evidence collection from video feeds and community statements. ‘Every angle is being explored for a breakthrough,’ he affirmed.
The victim’s son, Maithili Thakur, blends legislative duties with a celebrated career in folk music, making this a headline-grabber. The episode fuels discourse on safeguarding valuables at crowded rural venues.
With heightened alertness, officers patrol hotspots, determined to nab the felons. This incident not only alarms the elite but resonates with everyday citizens wary of rising thefts, pushing for robust preventive strategies across Bihar.
