Muzaffarpur Police has successfully cracked a major cloth theft case worth around ₹12 lakh within a week of the incident. The theft occurred at a warehouse belonging to RK Enterprises in the Ahiyapur police station area, where criminals allegedly broke the lock and stole 33 bundles of cloth during the night using pickup vehicles. The incident, which happened just 200 meters from the police station, had raised serious questions about security arrangements.

Following a complaint from the warehouse owner, police launched a detailed investigation using technical and human intelligence. The probe led officers to East Champaran, where a special team conducted raids in the Harsiddhi area and recovered the stolen goods. A local cloth trader identified as Mukesh Kumar was arrested in connection with the case. According to police, the accused revealed that multiple vehicles were used during the operation. Authorities said the main conspirator is still absconding, and continued raids are underway to arrest remaining suspects.
