More than 150 audience members lost their mobile phones while attending the recording of BTV's popular magazine show 'Ityadi' in Kalai, Joypurhat. The incident took place on Saturday evening at the historic Nandaile Dighi college ground in the upazila. Around 10,000 spectators gathered from early morning to watch the show planned and hosted by Hanif Sanket.
Despite heavy security deployment including police, intelligence members, scouts, and volunteers, a thief syndicate took advantage of the massive crowds. Between evening and 9:00 PM, over 150 mobile phones were stolen from the pockets and bags of attendees, with 70 to 80 victims later reporting verbally to the police station.
Confirming the incident, Kalai Police Station Inspector (Investigation) Imaedul Jahedi stated that a person named Golam Ratan (49) was caught red-handed over mobile and cash thefts. The detainee is a resident of the Vadsa area in Joypurhat Sadar. Necessary legal actions will be taken upon receiving a written complaint.
