In a startling theft case, a jewellery shop-owner here on Thursday alleged that a rat stole a pair of diamond earring from his shop.

The incident was caught on the CCTV, where the rat could be seen carrying away the earrings kept in a yellow plastic bag.

I believe that the rat was an embodiment of God and took away the earrings to endow it to the Goddess Parvati on the auspicious day of Maha Shivratri. I am delighted that it chose my shop for this purpose, said Dheeraj Kumar, owner of Navatran Jewellers and Brothers

Even if I find the diamond earrings, I will bestow it to the Kedarnath Temple, he added.

This is not the first time rats have created problems for the people of Bihar. In 2017, a mischief of rats allegedly consumed thousands of litres of confiscated liquor.
