Actor-turned-politician Mithun Chakraborty found himself in a sticky situation after his wallet was stolen from his pocket during his mega roadshow in Jharkhand on Tuesday. The actor campaigned for BJP in Dhanbad, Jharkhand, and that is when he got pickpocketed, causing a stir among the crowd.

Chakraborty led a massive roadshow in the Nirsa Assembly area of Jharkhand to extend his support to BJP candidate Aparna Sen Gupta. Thousands of people gathered at the venue to catch one glimpse of the star, and it led to major chaos and mismanagement at the spot.

During the rally, the stage announcer repeatedly made appeals over the microphone, urging whoever took the purse to return it. Despite these efforts, the missing purse was not recovered.

Despite security forces in place, the crowd went out of control and rushed towards the stage to click photos and videos of the actor and see him from up close. It was during this chaos that Chakraborty's wallet was stolen.

Disappointed by the fiasco, Chakraborty concluded the event sooner than expected and rushed back to safety.

Earlier, on November 11 Chakraborty led a massive roadshow in Jharkhand's East Singhbhum district on Monday.

He campaigned for BJP candidate Meera Munda, the wife of former CM Arjun Munda, in the Potka constituency.

A large crowd, which included a significant number of women, gathered to have a glimpse of the Bollywood superstar as the roadshow covered the Gopalpur, Rakhamines and Jadugora areas.

The BJP has pitted Meera Munda against incumbent JMM MLA Sanjeev Sardar in the Potka seat.

Chakraborty then went to Dahigora Circus Maidan in Ghatsila where he briefly addressed a rally in favour of BJP candidate Babulal Soren.

Babulal Soren is the son of ex-CM Champai Soren.

"Despite my fractured hand, I have come here for your love and affection. However, I could not spend much time here," he said.

Chakraborty promised to visit the area again if the BJP is voted to power in the state.

"If you want a miracle to happen, vote for BJP," he told the rally.

Polling for the 81-member assembly will be held on November 13 and 20. The votes will be counted on November 23.
