Police in Darbhanga have successfully recovered ₹5 lakh that was stolen from a motorcycle's dicky on September 25th. The amount was found during a raid at the accused's house, though the suspect managed to flee.

Benipur SDPO Basukinath Jha, addressing a press conference at Nehra Police Station, stated that Subodh Das, a resident of Namati village, had filed a written complaint on September 25th about the theft of ₹5 lakh from his bike's dicky. Das had withdrawn the money from the SBI Sakri branch and was returning home to Namati. He stopped his bike near a garage, between Lalua and Balu Chowk, to relieve himself. Upon his return, he found the dicky open and the cash, along with his chequebook and passbook, missing.

Considering the gravity of the incident, a special team was formed under the guidance of senior police officials. The team meticulously reviewed CCTV footage from the crime scene and surrounding areas. Technical and scientific evidence, combined with human intelligence, led to the identification of the suspect, Ritik Kumar, son of Prabhu Yadav, a resident of Jurawganj in Katihar's Kodha police station area.

During the police raid at Ritik Kumar's residence, the entire stolen amount of ₹5 lakh was recovered. However, Ritik Kumar managed to escape before the police could apprehend him. Nehra Police Station SHO Moti Kumar confirmed that continuous raids are being conducted to arrest the accused, and he is expected to be caught soon.
