On Thursday morning, there was a lady named Chitra Mishra who had gone to worship the Banyan tree by offering her prayers, and immediately after that, she was heading home when two bike lifters fled away with her chain. There are blackout zones and CCTV cameras, and the police promptly arrived. They started analysing the CCTV footage with the aim of arresting the people responsible.

Chitra Mishra mentioned that they live in Kalyanpur Kala as they had come to visit their maternal home; they have their in-laws in Khora, Nawabganj. Her husband, Vivek Mishra, is a private teacher and is currently the divisional president of Dharwad teachers cell BJP. On Thursday, Chitra had gone to perform the worship of the Banyan tree at a place called ‘Panki Road’ with her elder sister, Rekha.

When Chitra and Rekha were coming back home, they had worship; after that, they both were attacked by two bike-riding thieves near the All Mega Mart alley. Chira’s chain was caught by one of the thieves, who immediately sped towards the Kalyanpur crossing.
