In a crackdown against illegal sand mining and transportation, police in the Bahera police station area of Dobhi, Gaya, have seized a tractor loaded with sand and arrested its driver. The incident occurred during a day patrol near Kothwara Bazaar.

According to police sources, Bahera police were on their routine day patrol on Tuesday when they intercepted a sand-laden tractor near Kothwara Bazaar. Upon inspection, the driver was asked to produce a valid challan for the sand transportation. However, the driver failed to present any legitimate documents.

Following this, the police immediately seized the tractor and took the driver into custody. The arrested driver has been identified as Nitish Kumar, a resident of Hardawan village, also within the Bahera police station limits in Gaya district. Kumar was subsequently presented before the court and has been sent to judicial custody. This swift action by the police has sent a strong message to those involved in illegal sand activities in the region.
