Stolen: Entire steel bridge weighing 500 tons in Bihar. Watch how thieves did it

In an unusual crime, a group of men allegedly stole a 60-foot-long steel bridge, weighing 500 tons. The crime reportedly occurred in Bihar's Sasaram.

The bridge was built over Arrah canal in Amiyawar village in Nasriganj police station area in 1972, as per a PTI report.


The thieves allegedly posed as Irrigation Department officials and brought gas-cutters and earthmovers to perpetrate their crime over 3 days. Police have filed a case and alerted scrap dealers in the area.


A resident told news agency PTI that the bridge had been declared dangerous some time ago, and a nearby concrete bridge was used by locals.


Opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav took a jibe at the Bihar government, claiming that thieves were inspired by the JD(U)-BJP government which came to power by stealing the mandate.
