Bihar Administration Demolishes Wall at BJP MLA Maithili Thakur’s House Over Encroachment Allegations

The Bihar administration on Friday demolished a boundary wall at the residence of BJP MLA and folk singer Maithili Thakur in Pokharbhinda village, Darbhanga, following allegations of encroachment on government land.

Officials, including Deputy Collector Ajay Kumar and Circle Officer Alok Kumar, inspected the site and conducted a land survey in the presence of villagers and complainants. The survey reportedly found that a portion of a government road had been encroached upon to construct the wall. The structure was subsequently demolished to restore public access to the road.

Villagers have also accused Thakur’s family of encroaching on land belonging to a local deity, a Radha-Krishna temple, a public cremation ground and a drainage channel.

Separately, a villager has accused Thakur’s father, Ramesh Thakur, of occupying three decimals of his private land and threatening him with false legal cases.

Maithili Thakur has denied all allegations, maintaining that they are baseless and that her family possesses valid land documents.

Meanwhile, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav has accused Thakur and her father of alleged large-scale land grabbing and sought answers from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah over the allegations against NDA legislators.
