Police entered the Muzaffarpur MLA's residence on a court‑ordered search warrant to probe a land and boundary‑trespass case linked to his brother.
Muzaffarpur district officials carried out a raid on the residence of Amit Kumar Ranu, a Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) legislator, following a court directive. The operation, conducted under a search warrant, targeted alleged irregularities in a land ownership dispute and accusations of boundary encroachment.
According to the police, the dispute involves a parcel of land in Ahiyapur village, where Ranu's brother is said to have a role. Investigators seized documents and conducted a preliminary inspection of the property to ascertain the extent of the alleged trespass.
The raid underscores ongoing tensions over land rights in rural Bihar and highlights the use of judicial orders to facilitate police investigations into political figures. No arrests were reported at the time of the raid, and authorities said further inquiries will determine whether any criminal provisions have been violated.
The incident has drawn attention from local media and opposition parties, who are monitoring the case for potential political ramifications. The court order and police action reflect a broader effort to address land‑related conflicts that frequently surface in the state.
The matter remains under investigation, with the police expected to file a detailed report once forensic analysis of the seized material is completed.
