Bihar police on Thursday recovered a rocket launcher from the house of a former independent legislator <b>Surendra Sharma, a criminal-turned-politician </b>in <b>Saran district.</b>

Shocked by the recovery of a rocket launcher from Sharma house, Governor Buta Singh ordered Director General of Police Ashish Ranjan Sinha to investigate <b>how Sharma came to possess the sophisticated combat weapon, used by the Indian Army.</b>

Sharma is currently lodged in Chapra jail in connection with criminal cases.
