In a significant move, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has initiated a large-scale operation across Bihar, conducting search operations at 17 different locations. The operation is part of an expanded investigation into a key recovery made earlier this year. The focus is on an AK-47 assault rifle that was found in the Fakuli police station area in Muzaffarpur district back in August.
The NIA’s move to widen the scope of the investigation underscores the growing concern over the illegal possession and potential misuse of firearms in the region. The recovered AK-47 is believed to be linked to criminal elements operating in the area, and the NIA is now probing possible connections to organized crime, terrorism, and other illegal activities.

The operation, which is still ongoing, is aimed at uncovering more details about the weapon’s origin and those involved in its illegal possession. Authorities have not disclosed further specifics about the nature of the searches at the 17 locations, but the operation is expected to provide crucial insights into the network behind this and potentially other arms-related offenses in Bihar.
The NIA’s involvement in this case highlights its role in addressing national security threats, especially in cases involving illegal arms trafficking and related criminal activity. The agency’s efforts in Bihar reflect its broader mandate to tackle terrorism, organized crime, and other threats to public safety and security.
As the investigation unfolds, authorities are expected to reveal more details about the individuals and networks targeted in the operation.
