Sitamarhi :  A gang of armed criminals looted jewellery and cash worth about Rs 6 lakh from the house of a serving Army personnel at village Bhup Bhairo under Sitamarhi Town police station (PS) in North Bihar in the wee hours on January 13, 2022. They barged into the house by scaling the wall with the help of a bamboo ladder.

The house owner Jitendra Thakur is posted in Indian Army at Kolkata, West Bengal, while his son Dilip Kumar is in Air Force at Jamnagar in Gujarat. Only female members and children were at the house at the time of dacoity. They mercilessly beat up Thakur’s family members and escaped before the arrival of police. None has been arrested in this connection so far.
