Ramesh Thakur, father of BJP MLA Maithili Thakur, is in the spotlight after being accused of grabbing a government road and private land in Darbhanga.
Local officials found encroachment on a portion of the government road while fencing a recently purchased plot following a complaint by resident Gagan Kumar Mishra.
Darbhanga villagers say road blocks access
Villagers say the blocked road is essential for reaching a cremation ground, a temple, and even for moving farm goods.
Santosh Kumar, one of the locals, said the objections were just ignored.
There are also claims that the neighboring landowner was being pressured to sell his property to Ramesh Thakur and was threatened with being implicated in a criminal case if he refused.
Officials measured the disputed land after a complaint, found road encroachment, and directed the complainant to the DCLR's office or civil court.
