No breakthrough in burglary at judge’s house

Patna: No major breakthrough has been made in the burglary at the house of district and sessions judge R. N. Sharma at Budha Colony in the State capital as six days passed but the intruders remained at large.

While expressing confidence that those involved in the incident would soon be brought to book, a senior police officer said, “We are on our investigation trail but still not able to trace the persons who burgled into the Judge’s house.”

On Friday last, unidentified persons sneaked into the house of Judge Sharma, currently posted in Chapra in Saran district, and taken away properties, including gold and cash worth around Rs 1 lakh.

When the judge with his family returned to his Budha Colony house, he found the lock of the house broken and articles scattered, adding the judge had lodged an FIR against unknown persons.

Reports of miscreants targeting judges and their families in Bihar have been coming in last few months. In August, the married daughter of an Additional District and Sessions judge posted in Banka, Subhash Chandra Prasad, went missing. In May this year, the house of a CAT judge Sudha Srivatava in Patna was attacked by some men and her friend thrown from the eighth floor under Kotwali police station. The friend died instantly. PTI
