In Parsa, the ancestral home of former Bihar Urban Development and Housing Minister Suresh Sharma, located in Latrahiya Bahalolpur within the police station area, was targeted by unknown thieves on Friday late night. The culprits cut through the iron grill of a window to gain entry and ransacked the house. This high-profile burglary in a VIP residence has created a stir throughout the locality.

Upon receiving information about the incident, Parsa SHO Om Prakash, along with police personnel, immediately reached the spot. Given the property belonged to a former minister and the seriousness of the case, special teams were promptly called in. FSL officer Ratna Rabha, SIT officer Dhananjay Kumar, and a dog squad thoroughly inspected the crime scene, collecting fingerprints and other forensic evidence.

Sunil Sharma, the former minister's brother, stated that a caretaker named Geni Singh had been looking after the house for the past 30 years. On Friday night, he had gone to his own home. When he returned on Saturday morning, he noticed the broken window and informed the family. The thieves broke the locks of six rooms, rummaging through boxes, trunks, chests, almirahs, and dressing tables. A gold chain from the prayer room and some other items were stolen, though no major assets were taken.

The police have stated that investigations are ongoing based on technical and scientific evidence, and the thieves will be apprehended soon. It's worth noting that Saran district is among the top 10 sensitive districts in the state for cases of theft and housebreaking.
