Money stolen by breaking donation boxes at shrine and graveyard in Bagha

Money was stolen by cutting the grill of the shrine of Hazrat Shah Abdul Hamid Danishmand (Rh.) and breaking the donation box of the central graveyard on the same night in Bagha, Rajshahi. The incident took place at some point during the night of Friday (November 6), causing a stir in the area.

According to the shrine guard, taking advantage of him being on duty on the south side, thieves entered by climbing the north side wall. On Saturday morning, worshippers came for Ziarat and found the donation box lock broken and the grill cut.

It is estimated that there was around one lakh taka in the shrine's donation box and about seven thousand taka in the graveyard's box. The shrine and graveyard authorities have filed two separate complaints with the police station, and police stated that legal action will be taken after investigating the matter.
