A Bihar village is on edge after two robbery incidents reported to have occurred eight days apart, leading residents to suspect a local “hair-chopping” gang. According to NDTV, people in the area have begun discussing a supposed “Baal Katarva” group, described in local reports as involved in crimes that include cutting or threatening victims’ hair during robberies.
The reporting frames the concern around the similarity in the incidents’ timing and pattern, which residents say has persisted despite attempts to seek explanations. With the second robbery following the first by roughly a week, the repeated modus operandi has heightened local fear and prompted broader attention to the case.
The available information focuses on residents’ claims and the incidents’ reported similarities, rather than on confirmed details such as the number of suspects, their identities, or any arrests. The reports indicate that the pattern of the robberies is driving the “hair-chopping gang” theory among villagers as the investigation continues.
