Reports state that the Samastipur railway division is involved in the matter. Here, the Lohat sugar mill has been abandoned for a while. In this mill, a railroad line was constructed for freight transport. The mill was linked to Pandaul Railway Station by this route. But this rail line was also shut down. The items here were supposed to be put up for auction as scrap after the mill was shut down.
In this scrap, there was a railroad line as well. Officials learned that the approximately 2 km long rail line had been sold without a competitive tender with the complicity of some department members. Nevertheless, some media reports claim that the length of the stolen tracks is just half a km.
The theft was confirmed to be real after the railway officials looked into these claims. At the RPF post in Darbhanga, a case was also filed in this regard.
