Bagdogra, 09th February: In yet another daylight robbery, four miscreants posing as police officers stole gold jewelry from an elderly man. The incident occurred in the Buribalason area of Bagdogra.
According to reports, Ashutosh Bose, a local resident, was approached by four men on two motorcycles. They introduced themselves as police officers and advised Ashutosh to remove his gold necklace and ring, claiming that the current times were not safe. They handed him a piece of paper and suggested he wrap the jewelry inside it for safety.
After the four miscreants left the scene, Ashutosh opened the paper to find that it contained sand instead of his gold ornaments.
Upon receiving the information, the Bagdogra police arrived at the scene and initiated an investigation into the incident. The authorities are working to identify and apprehend the culprits.
