In a bizarre incident in Bihar's Darbhanga district, land mafia allegedly stole an entire pond, replacing it with a hut. The disappearance of the water body, utilized for communal activities, raised concerns among locals. Despite complaints and zonal officials briefly halting the filling process, the mafia secretly continued their activities, completing the pond's vanishing act. Rising land prices in Darbhanga motivated this unconventional theft, leaving the community bewildered. Bihar has witnessed unusual thefts, including a stolen train engine and a whole bridge in recent years, reflecting an audacious trend in criminal activities in the region.
