In a startling development near the India-Nepal border, handwritten pamphlets threatening robberies have appeared in the villages of Sorahiya and Mahanandpurwa, sparking widespread concern, officials announced Friday.
The residents of Mahanandpurwa have responded by organizing nightly patrols equipped with sticks and flashlights, while local law enforcement has heightened its vigilance in the area. A second pamphlet found in Sorahiya has only intensified the fear among villagers.
Despite circulating rumors of theft, law enforcement officials say that no actual thefts have been reported. These rumors include claims of drones capable of seeing valuables inside homes at night, a notion dismissed by Station House Officer Rupaidiha, Ramesh Singh Rawat, as the work of mischief-makers. Village security committees have been urged to maintain their vigilance as efforts to identify and apprehend those responsible for spreading such fear continue, with the use of intelligence and CCTV footage.
