According to documents, Mithlesh Devi was elected as a panchayat samiti member from Tikauli panchayat in Sitamarhi after she filed her nomination papers and contested the panchayat polls.
However, officials pointed out Mithlesh was murdered nine years ago and her husband Sikandar Mukhiya is the main accused in case. Sikandar, too, has been missing and on the run since after the incident -- at least on paper.
