Siliguri, 12th July: Tension spread in Siliguri’s Ghogomali area after several people accused a youth of duping them of large sums of money with false promises of employment. The accused, identified as Piklu Das, is currently absconding.
According to local sources, Piklu had been allegedly collecting money from multiple individuals for a long time, claiming he could provide them jobs. However, none of the victims received any employment despite repeated follow-ups. When they tried to contact Piklu, he reportedly made excuses and avoided them.
On Friday night, a group of those cheated went to Piklu’s residence, only to learn that he had been missing for several days. Following the commotion, police from the Ashighar Outpost reached the scene and brought the situation under control. The police have launched an investigation into the entire matter.
