Jamui (Bihar): A woman barged into a police station in Bihar claiming that she was the reincarnation of goddess Durga who had come to set her husband free. The bizarre incident took place in Sikandra police station in Jamui on Friday.

According to police, Karthik Manjhi, an alcoholic was nabbed during a raid carried out in a hooch bar in Jamui district. His wife Sanju Manjhi smeared red vermilion on her forehead and held rice in one hand and a stick in another and staged a drama on the Sikandra police station premises to set her husband free. The woman, according to police officials, said that "Maa Durga resides in her'' and continued her antics in the police station for a long time.

The woman also started throwing rice grains at the police officers while other women accompanying her started chanting mantras. "Nothing can happen without my orders," she shouted at the cops.
