ARA------------------------Villagers apprehended two suspects who had arrived to steal cattle in Budhanavir village, under the Bihiya police station area of ​​Bhojpur district, on Monday morning. The apprehended individuals include a minor and a young man. Villagers informed the Dial-112 team about the incident. Police arrived at the scene, took both individuals into custody, and later handed them over to the Bihiya police station.

According to reports, around five suspects had entered the village under the cover of darkness on Monday morning with the intention of stealing cattle. A cattle owner sensed their presence. When two of the suspects moved to untie a buffalo, villagers caught them. However, their three accomplices managed to escape by taking advantage of the situation.

There are also reports that the villagers assaulted the two apprehended suspects. The police have taken both into custody and initiated an investigation. According to Bihiya Station House Officer (SHO) Vipin Bihari, the young man is being interrogated in custody. He has been identified as Govinda Nat, son of Sitaram Nat, a resident of Bagahi.

According to the police, during interrogation, the young man revealed that he had previously sold stolen cattle in Ranisagar. The police are verifying this information and are making efforts to recover the stolen cattle. In addition to conducting raids at suspected hideouts, the police are also trying to identify other individuals involved in the incident.

It was reported that two days prior, a head of cattle belonging to Lilawati Devi—wife of Vinod Yadav and a resident of Budhanavir village—had been stolen. According to the police, the detained young man admitted to his role in this theft during questioning. He told the police that two other individuals were also involved in the incident.
