It is alleged that Rajiv Ranjan Jha, an engineer of Samastipur Loco Diesel Shed, sold the old steam engine of the small line standing for years near Purnia Court station of Railway Division to the scrap mafia by showing fake office order of DME. To prevent the matter from being exposed, with the connivance of a inspector working at the diesel shed post, an entry was also made on the inward register of the shed to enter a pickup van scrap. The disturbance started when on December 14, 2021, engineer Rajiv Ranjan Jha of Samastipur Diesel Shed, along with helper Sushil Yadav, was found near the Purnia Court station, while the old steam engine, which had been standing for years, was cut with a gas cutter.
