Patna, June 26
In a significant breakthrough, the police in Bihar's Muzaffarpur arrested two dreaded criminals after an intense firing on Thursday morning.
Senior Superintendent of Police Sushil Kumar confirmed the arrest of Suraj Sahani and Neeraj Thakur, both natives of Motihari in East Champaran district, who were wanted in more than two dozen criminal cases across North Bihar.
“These criminals had a long history of involvement in serious crimes, including multiple loot cases at CHCs in Muzaffarpur, East Champaran, Sitamarhi, Samastipur, and adjoining districts,” SSP Kumar said.
According to SSP Kumar, the duo had initially been apprehended and were being transported to the district headquarters on Wednesday evening. However, in a dramatic turn of events, the accused managed to escape custody by pushing the escorting policemen aside in an area that comes under the jurisdiction of the Paro police station.
Acting swiftly, police alerted all nearby stations through wireless communication. Based on intelligence inputs, the accused were tracked down to Chitor village, where a police team surrounded the area and launched an operation.
