The SI Suman Jha Gold Cash Theft case has shocked the police department in Bihar. Authorities dismissed sub-inspector Suman Jha after allegations surfaced that he stole around 1.5 kg of gold and ₹15 lakh during a police raid. The SI Suman Jha Gold Cash Theft incident happened in Vaishali district during a search operation at a suspect’s house.
During the raid, the police team recovered stolen items, electronics, jewellery, and cash. However, reports later revealed that about 1.5 kg of gold and ₹15 lakh were missing from the seizure list. Locals and photos from the raid exposed the discrepancy and raised serious allegations against Jha.
Officials said Suman Jha had already faced corruption charges earlier. In 2024, vigilance officers caught him while taking a ₹11,000 bribe in Muzaffarpur. Despite the case, he returned to duty after getting bail.
After an internal investigation, the Tirhut range DIG ordered his dismissal. Police officials also warned that strict action will be taken against corruption in the department.
