Bihar Police Hailed as National Heroes for Locating MP’s Missing Dog While Crime Wave Rolls On

Patna: In a dramatic triumph that has undoubtedly secured Bihar’s place in canine history, the state’s police have successfully rescued the missing Siberian Husky belonging to Rajesh Verma, the Khagaria MP from Chirag Paswan’s Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas). The operation, which unfolded over a harrowing two days, has left the rest of Bihar’s crime victims feeling quite reassured—or not.

The furry diplomatic crisis began when Verma’s prized Husky mysteriously disappeared from his family home in Kharmanchak, Bhagalpur. According to sources close to the saga, the MP’s younger brother—chief custodian of the esteemed pet—mounted a desperate search operation, while the Husky itself sauntered off to the Ishakchak police station area, presumably in pursuit of better treats.

The dog’s misadventure escalated into a minor hostage situation when a local resident, discovering the animal’s foreign pedigree and market value, demanded a ransom of Rs 20,000. A turf war reportedly broke out between two prospective Husky-owners, leading to a fracas that required the intervention of Bihar’s finest.

Police, acting with the precision and urgency rarely seen in matters involving actual human victims, managed to rescue the canine, share its photo on social media, and reunite it with its rightful owner. All within 48 hours—a record, some might argue, in a state grappling with rising murders, kidnappings, and industrialists being gunned down on city streets.

Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav, MP from Purnia and seasoned practitioner of political sarcasm, took to X (formerly Twitter) to salute Bihar Police’s heroic feat. “The whole country salutes Bihar Police for finding the dog of NDA’s Khagaria MP. I request the Prime Minister with full responsibility to honour Bihar Police with the Bharat Ratna! Bihar Police should also be given the highest honour for maintaining NDA rule in Bihar,” he posted, earning likes from citizens currently waiting for the police to solve lesser mysteries, such as who murdered Gopal Khemka or why crime feels like a state hobby.

Meanwhile, critics of the state’s law and order situation might be forgiven for wondering whether Bihar Police could be persuaded to chase down murderers and kidnappers with the same tenacity they reserve for runaway Huskies. For now, however, Verma’s dog is safe, and Bihar Police have proved that, in at least one case, justice—complete with a wagging tail—can prevail.
