Amrit Vaishnav, a resident of Nahanda village who earns her livelihood by begging, stated that she has no children. She goes from village to village, begging and thus making her living. On July 29, 2024, she had sold a portion of her residence to Jitendra Patel of the village for 2.50 lakh rupees. In addition, she also had 4,000 rupees collected from begging. She had kept this entire amount inside a steel box within a trunk in her house, secured with two locks.

The woman reported that on August 25, 2025, around 3 pm, she locked the main door of her house and went to the home of Home Giri Maharaj in Piparkhar village to celebrate the Teej festival. When she returned at 4 pm on August 27, she found the main door lock broken. Upon inspection inside, both locks of the trunk were found broken along with their latches, and the 2.50 lakh rupees kept in it and the 4,000 rupees kept in the bag were missing.

Upon receiving information about the incident, Amrit Vaishnav informed the people around her and the village Kotwar. After this, she went to the Deori police station and lodged a complaint.

Subsequently, the police took him there. Upon arrival, he retrieved the weapons from the sack, using the pretext of recovering them, and opened fire on the police, prompting the police to retaliate in self-defense. During the exchange, the accused was shot in the leg and fell to the ground.

Patna SSP Kartikeya Sharma, City SP Parichay Kumar, and DSP Rajkishore Singh reached the spot and investigated the matter.

Acting swiftly, a police team led by Madhaura DSP Naresh Paswan arrested three suspects, recovering weapons from them. The arrested individuals were identified as Manish Kumar and Rohit Kumar from Dholrahi Kaithal, Amanour, and Prince Kumar from Fulwaria, Maker.

The police recovered a country-made pistol, live cartridges, sharp knives, the motorcycle used in the CSP robbery, Rs 12,000 in cash, the CSP operator’s Aadhaar card, and a photograph. The Rural SP stated that all three criminals had prior criminal records in the Amanour and Maker police stations.

Their arrest prevented a potentially large criminal incident in the area.

The successful resolution of the robbery case was based on the items recovered from the arrested suspects. A country-made pistol, two live cartridges, a sharp knife, and two motorcycles, along with other items, were recovered from the three suspects.
