They also entered a police station and physically assaulted some officials.There is no let-up in violence in areas like Wasseypur, Jharia, Katras, Dhanbad and Baghmara either.

They also robbed Rs 2.5 lakh from his car and tried to kill him, but fled the scene as soon as some pedestr came to his rescue.Two days back, gunfire and blasts were reported from a closed quarry near Pokharia in Madhuban Colliery under Kharkhari OP, where illicit mining of coal was underway.

After this, brass coils of transformers, worth lakhs, were looted.In November 2021, a businessman named Nanhe Khan was killed by the henchmen of a gangster, Prince Khan. After this, he took responsibility of the incident by releasing the video of him playing billiards and challenging the Senior Superintendent of Police.Previously, he had threatened a person named Israfil alias Lala Khan in Talibani style and had threatened to kill him.In this matter, SSP Sanjeev Kumar had said: "Prince is finding hard to make ends meet and therefore wants to create panic by releasing such videos. The weapon he has is a toy gun."However, responding to the official's claims, Prince Khan made another video saying: "I'm playing billiards here. SSP is giving childish statements to hide his incompetence."Prior to this, Prince has also tried to extort money from a BCCL officer, Railways and Municipal Corporation contractors and other businessmen through threat videos.There is conflict between two popular gangsters in Wasseypur - Faheem Khan and Prince Khan. Last year, two murders took place between the two gangs.Acording to Dhanbad MLA Raj Sinha, the law and order system of Dhanbad has collapsed. MP P.N. Singh said the local police has failed.
