Bihar STF Arrests Notorious Criminal Tiger in Samastipur

Samastipur, November 12 (Daily Kiran) : The Bihar Special Task Force (STF) has successfully apprehended Abhishek Kumar, known as ‘Tiger,’ a member of the top ten most wanted criminals in Darbhanga district. His arrest took place during a raid in the Bangra police station area of Samastipur on Wednesday night.

According to a statement released by the STF on Thursday, Abhishek hails from Govindpur village in the Mansurchak police station area of Begusarai district. His father is identified as Bhushan Mahto, also known as Chandrabhooshan Mahto.

Darbhanga police had been searching for Abhishek in connection with a case registered in the Darbhanga Town police station. Investigators allege that he was involved in two significant armed robberies that occurred this year.

The first incident took place on March 24 at an Axis Bank branch in the Teghra police station area of Begusarai, where armed criminals conducted a robbery at gunpoint. The second robbery happened on April 3 at ‘Prem Jewelers’ in the Darbhanga Town police station area, where the robbers used weapons to intimidate employees and execute the theft.

Authorities claim that Abhishek played a central role in these events. The STF reports that there are four serious criminal cases against him across various police stations in Darbhanga, Samastipur, and Begusarai, including charges of attempted murder, robbery, dacoity, and violations of the Arms Act.

Following his arrest, the STF and local police are interrogating Abhishek to uncover the roles of other suspected gang members and to capture those who are still at large. Investigators are hopeful that questioning him will yield further information about the gang’s network and the whereabouts of other suspects. Officials assert that the remaining accused will also be apprehended soon.
