With the trend of the increasing thefts reported, the police have banned the public from roaming around the Besant Nagar beach in the night sessions.
On last Friday, 4 mysterious persons tried to snatch the cell phone from Samhar Sar from Kolkata, West Bengal near the Besant Nagar Beach area. A scuffle ensued during which the culprits stabbed the victim with a knife and escaped.
Just an hour before this incident, another similar incident happened when a chain was snatched from a woman.
Since successive similar incidents are happening in this area, the police have banned the public roaming around in the Besant Nagar Beach area from 11.00 PM to 4.00 AM.
