132-foot mobile tower vanishes in Bihar, not the state’s first unusual heist

An unusual case of a missing mobile tower in Bihar’s Buxar district has drawn attention not only because of the size of the structure involved, but also because it echoes a series of odd thefts that have taken place in the state over the years.

As per the media reports, police are probing the disappearance of a telecom tower and related equipment from a site in Dumraon, Buxar district. The incident reportedly came to light after a representative of a telecom infrastructure company visited the site and found out that the tower was no longer there. Police have lodged a case and have initiated an investigation.
