Police Arrests Follow Robberies in Muzaffarpur and Sitapur

In Muzaffarpur, Bihar, thieves looted the Amrapali Jewelers store, melted the stolen gold to conceal its origin and used the proceeds to purchase a second‑hand car. The vehicle has been linked to liquor smuggling and other criminal activities, prompting police to investigate the broader network behind the heist.

In Sitapur, Uttar Pradesh, a robbery in front of an HDFC Bank branch led to the arrest of two suspects, Noor Alam and Paurush Yadav. Police recovered ₹1,500 in cash and the Hero HF Deluxe motorcycle used in the attack, and noted the men have prior criminal records. Investigations continue in both cases to uncover any additional accomplices.
