West Bengal News: Eight arrested in Malda

Malda police foiled a robbery attempt and arrested four members of a gang on Wednesday night.

Senior police agents said the gang appeared to have its base in the neighboring state of Bihar and had entered Malda to commit crimes.

Chanchal police cleared a mango orchard in Mayapur village and discovered a group of more than 10 people.

“When three or four of them escaped, we tried to keep track of them. “Of those arrested, one is from Bihar and one is from Dinajpur North district,” a police officer said.

At least four of the seven have criminal cases registered against them in Bengal and Bihar.

Mahananda River flows between Abadpur area and Chanchal de Malda near the interstate border in Bihar. “Criminals from Bihar usually cross the river and enter the area. There are closed-circuit television cameras there, but they managed to avoid them,” said a source.

On Thursday, a tribunal ordered eight people to remain in police custody for seven days.

“The workers carrying lunch were rescued and their colleagues took them to a local hospital. Meanwhile, the accused died”, said a source.

“We will ask the police to take strict action against him,” said a family member of the professor.
