Stolen rifles recovered from field
Madhubani: Two rifles stolen from the home guard room in Khutauna Anchal on Saturday evening were recovered on Friday morning, abandoned in a field around 500 metres south of the block headquarters.
Rekha Devi, a resident of a nearby village, noticed the rifles while disposing of ash in her field as part of her daily routine. She alerted local villagers, one of whom informed Nitish Kumar, the officer-in-charge at Khutauna police station.
Kumar and a police team reached the spot and confirmed that the rifles were the same as those reported missing. The area was immediately cordoned off and Phulparas DSP Sudhir Kumar arrived to examine the site.
A dog squad from the Rajnagar SSB and a forensic team from Madhubani's FSL were also called in. The dog squad began tracking from the site while the forensic team conducted a detailed examination of the rifles.
Phulparas SDPO Sudhir Kumar said a technical team had also been called to support the ongoing investigation. He added that the police were committed to uncovering all aspects of the incident, from the theft to the rifles' recovery, and ensuring those responsible are brought to justice.
