When Mithun, who found himself in an awkward position, informed other BJP leaders about the incident, one party member appealed from the dais to the supporters to return the wallet if anyone had stolen it.
The video of the appeal has gone viral on social media.
Taking a dig, the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, which rules the state, put up an X post saying, The pickpocketing BJP did not spare even the great actor Mithun Da. People of Jharkhand should be cautious of pickpocket BJP…
