In the past few weeks, acts of burglary, theft and robbery have become especially frequent in the state, becoming a cause of concern both for law enforcement officials as well as residents of the affected regions.
In a similarly shocking incident that unfolded last week in Bamunimaidam, Guwahati, a group of armed robbers wreaked havoc in the home of a local businessman, Pranjit Das. The criminals, wielding daggers and an unknown substance, left the Das family traumatized as they made off with a staggering Rs. 10 lakh worth of jewelry, cash, and other valuable possessions. The incident sent shockwaves through the community, prompting a swift response from law enforcement.
Authorities wasted no time in addressing the heinous crime. A case was then officially filed at the Chandmari Police Station, and a rigorous investigation is currently underway.
Eyewitnesses of this incident reported that the gang of robbers, estimated to be between six and seven in number, arrived at the scene on two-wheelers, executing their nefarious plan with precision. Their daring act raises concerns about the security situation in the area. Distressed locals have voiced their grievances, asserting that there is a noticeable absence of patrolling in the vicinity, highlighting a larger issue of insufficient police presence.
