A total of 75,000 rupees was stolen from two places from two persons in Teliamura police station area on Friday in the space of one hour on the day of Teliamura Hatbar.
It is to be noted that, the long-time experienced OC Subrata Chakraborty has taken charge of Teliamura police station on Wednesday. And a few days after Subrata Chakraborty assumed responsibility at Teliamura police station, a total of rupees 75,000 was stolen from two places in Teliamura police station area on the same day.
The first incident of robbery happened on Friday in the area adjacent to Teliamura fire station on Teliamura-Amarpur road. It is known that Balaram Das (43), son of Taruni Kanti Das of Gamaibari area, on his way home, parked his motorcycle in the area adjacent to the fire station and went to a shop on the opposite side of the road to buy revenue stamps. Then Balaram Das had some important original documents with a total of Rs.60,000 in a bag inside his motorcycle. After purchasing the revenue stamp, he came in front of his motorcycle and saw that his bag full of money was not in the motorcycle. After searching, he went to Teliamura police station without finding anything.
On the other hand, a 70-year-old man named Haripad Ghosh, a resident of Moharchhara area of Teliamura police station, withdrew his wife’s pension from the Punjab National Bank Teliamura branch. On his way to Teliamura Vidyut Nigam office to collect money, as soon as he reached the area adjacent to the cheap toilet located at Teliamura Ampi Chowmuni, he felt itching on his body. Then he put his own purple bag containing 15,000 taka on the tool of a shop on the side of the road, bank pass book and other important documents, but he suddenly saw that the purple bag was not on the tool. He started searching and found nothing. Later local people sent information to Teliamura police station. Police from Teliamura police station came and started investigation in search of stolen money and important documents.
Now it is to be seen, how much the police of Subrata Chakraborty, who has recently joined the duties of OC of Teliamura police station, can handle the money extortion incident
