In a bold daylight robbery in Muzaffarpur, bike-borne criminals targeted a former soldier near the BMP-6 Durga Mandir on March 30, 2026. The incident occurred in the Mithanpura area shortly after the victim had withdrawn 2 lakh rupees from a State Bank of India branch. This event has highlighted the persistent challenges regarding public safety for citizens carrying cash in the city.
How did the robbery take place?
The former soldier had completed a transaction at the State Bank of India and was traveling to his destination via a tempo. As he arrived at the BMP-6 Durga Mandir and started getting down from the vehicle, two criminals on a motorcycle intercepted him.

The criminals appeared to have been tracking the victim from the bank before choosing the right moment to strike.
