Rare Gita manuscripts stolen

DARBHANGA NOV. 30. Several rare manuscripts, including that of `Shrimad Bhagwat Gita' written by poet `Vidyapati' and `Geetgovinda' — a pictorial script written by poet Jaidev have been stolen from a university library here.

The District Superintendent of Police, Sunil Kumar, said the manuscripts had been stolen by miscreants from the Kameshwar Singh Darbhanga Sanskrit University (KDSU) library on Friday night.

Mr. Kumar said the police had launched a massive search operation to arrest the culprits and retrieve the manuscripts. He said it was difficult to assess the loss in monetary terms as the manuscripts were invaluable.

An FIR has been lodged with the university police station in connection with the theft, the SP said. — PTI
