Even though CCTV cameras and police personnel are deployed at the puja mandaps in the city, a miscreant looted a gold chain from a woman at the Nayapalli Durga Puja pandal on Sunday. The victim was identified as Anjulata Ray of Behera Sahi in Nayapalli..
According to the complaint of Ray, her gold chain was looted by an unidentified miscreant when she had gone to Nayapalli Durga pandal for Durga Ashtami puja.
She realised that her chain was stolen only after she came out of the crowd at the pandal. The gold chain weighed around 15 gms. “The incident took at around 9:30 pm on Sunday morning when I was in a queue at the Nayapalli Durga Puja Pandal. After some time I realised that my golden chain was missing. I complained to the Puja committee and requested them to check the CCTV footage. But no one in the committee listened to me. I have lodged a complaint with the Nayapalli police,” Ray said.
