Gold worth 12 lakh stolen from sailor's house in Mongla

A major theft occurred at the residence of a foreign-bound ship sailor in Mongla, Bagerhat. Miscreants broke the window of Md. Jamal Uddin's house in the municipality's ward number 7 (Vasani Road) and looted gold ornaments, mobile phones, and cash worth about 12 lakh taka. The house was locked for about five hours on Friday afternoon as the family went to their old house.

Returning around 11:30 PM, they found the locks broken and called the national emergency service 999. Police visited the spot and a written complaint was filed at the Mongla police station on Saturday morning. However, locals expressed concern and anger as no remedy was found by Saturday night, raising questions about police patrols and role.

Regarding the matter, Mongla Circle Assistant Superintendent of Police Md. Refatul Islam stated that efforts are underway to identify the criminals using technology, and night patrols and checkpoints have been increased to prevent thefts. Necessary action will be taken if negligence is proven against any duty personnel.
