2 Bihar cops accused of embezzling gold, silver, cash
Two police officers in Bihar, India, are in trouble for allegedly taking gold, silver, and cash during a raid at a thief's house.
They didn't write these valuable items down in their official records.
The officers have been suspended, and an investigation is happening to find out what really happened.
The raid was at the home of a man named Ramprit Sahni, where the police found stolen items like TVs and utensils.
But some people say the police also found a lot of gold, silver, and money and kept it for themselves.
The higher-ups in the police are now looking into this to make sure everything is fair and honest.
