Local residents believe that organised thieves in the area have committed this incident. Anwar Hossain, Officer -in –Charge (OC) of Santhia police station said that he sent police to the spot after learning about the matter.
Laptops, computers were many things but nothing was taken away. It seems mysterious. However, if I receive a written complaint, I will take legal action.
