Although the police have registered a case regarding the incident and started with their investigations, it can be mentioned that this is the second such incident in the month and the culprits of the previous incident have not been apprehended yet. It can also be noted that out of the 18 close-circuit cameras installed in Mariyani, a large number remain dysfunctional as of now. The public has raised concerns regarding the lack of enough cameras to keep and eye as well as to prevent criminal activities.

In yet another incident of robbery in Biswanath town, the miscreants broke in through the ceiling of a business house and sacked various valuable items from the same.

The gangs of robbers in Biswanath seem to have expanded their list of targets recently. Previously they used to stick to the residences of local people at a time when the people went for their daily chores, leaving the residence empty. But now they have started targeting the business houses as well. The most recent target of these robbers was a hardware store. The name of the store is Mata Hardware and it is located on the Biswanath-Pabhoi road. During their operation, the robbers reportedly took two laptops, the two DVRs used for the close circuit cameras and a Jio Wi-Fi router. It can be noted that the shop had been robbed four times in the past.

Meanwhile, a team from the Biswanath Police visited the shop and took stock of the situation. They have started an investigation into the matter, and trying to get hold of all the miscreants involved.
