In a shocking incident reported from Bihar, some thieves reportedly posed as employees of a company that owned a mobile tower, and ended up dismantling the tower and stole it away. The incident was reported from Bihar’s Patna and occurred earlier last week. As per cops, the mobile tower was worth Rs 19 lakhs.
According to reports, the matter came to the fore after the company officials had arrived at the location earlier on Saturday to conduct an inspection, and found the entire mobile tower to be missing.
A complaint was subsequently filed in the matter and an investigation is currently on to nab the accused gang of thieves. A Free Press report stated that as many as 25 persons had arrived at the scene with cutters, tools and other equipment to dismantle the tower.
The development comes just days after another similar shocking incident of theft was reported from Bihar.

As per reports, the incident occurred in Bihar’s Begusarai where the accused gang took apart the engine piece by piece after trespassing in the railway yard by digging a tunnel. The engine had been brought to the yard for repair purposes.
In a similar incident, earlier this year some thieves in Bihar stole an entire 60-foot-long bridge.
