Surat – A man who threatened to bomb Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has been arrested in Laskana, Surat. The arrest was a joint effort between Bihar Police and the Surat Crime Branch, leading to the apprehension of Ankit Mishra, the accused. Originally from Bihar, Mishra has been living in Surat for the past six years.
The threat against Nitish Kumar was issued two days ago, prompting Bihar Police to open an investigation. Technical surveillance led to the identification of Mishra as the caller, and his mobile location was tracked to Surat. Bihar Police then contacted Surat Police for assistance.
Mishra was arrested in Laskana by the Surat Crime Branch and handed over to Bihar Police for further questioning. Authorities are investigating any potential connections to political parties. PI Lalit Vagadia of the Surat Crime Branch stated that a crime was registered against an unknown individual at the Sachivalaya police station in Bihar's Patna district following the bomb threat.
Surat Crime Branch worked closely with Bihar Police to trace Mishra's location. After deploying a team led by PSI Dodiya, they managed to locate and arrest Mishra in Laskana. The suspect was found with the help of human sources and technical surveillance.
During interrogation, it was revealed that Mishra had completed education up to the 12th standard and had been working in a loom factory in Lascana, Surat. Authorities are investigating his motives for threatening the Bihar Chief Minister. Preliminary examination of Mishra's phone showed that he had searched multiple numbers through Google, eventually contacting a media channel in Bihar to issue the bomb threat. The seized mobile has been handed over to Bihar Sachivalaya Police for further inquiry.
