Sitamarhi : Sitamarhi SP Vikas Burman has placed under suspension a Sub-Inspector (SI) of Bairgania police station Vijay Kumar Singh for dereliction of duty in kidnapping and subsequent murder of a Class VIII girl recently. The girl was a student of a government school at Bairgania.

The girl was kidnapped on December 8, 2018, night, when she was returning after attending a marriage function. Her body was found on December 11, 2018, in a ditch near Baba Lal Das temple at Bairgania.
