Madhulata / Patna
Forgetting the basic ethics, criminals in Bihar waylaid a school bus last evening and looted pocket money of little children totaling around a few hundred while they were on way to a sightseeing tour.
The incident occurred in the south Bihar’s Gaya district Saturday evening when the children of a government-run Jawahar Navodaya school aboard a bus were on way to neighbouring a sightseeing tour to neighbouring Rajgir, a historic place known for its scenic beauty.
Police said the robbers blocked the movement of the bus by putting boulders and tree trunks in the middle of the road at a deserted place and then asked the children to hand over their purse which they did instantly.
The miscreants also robbed the teachers accompanying the children in the bus and vanished into surrounding hills after snatching their cell phones and other valuables.
“They brandished guns before the little children and looted the pocket money of the children totaling around a few hundred”, the victim teachers told the local Nimchak-Bathani police under which jurisdiction the place of occurrence falls soon after the incident took place.
The teachers said the criminals showed no mercy on the children and robbed them off before fleeing the scene under the cover the darkness.
“The criminals targeted the school bus and looted everyone sitting inside. We are conducting raids to arrest the criminals”, the deputy superintendent of police Saryu Sharma told the media.

This is the second such incident in Bihar in the past few weeks.
A few months back, the criminals had again targeted the bus carrying children of another Jawahar Navodaya school in eastern Bihar’s Munger district and looted their pocket money in similar way.
Here too, the children were returning from a sight-seeing tour from Chatra in neighbouring Jharkhand state when the robbers waylaid their bus in between Bariarpur and Haveli-Kharagpur in Maoist-hit Munger district and robbed off the children.
