Howrah: A gang, posing as police, blocked a resident's way and robbed him of his ornaments. The incident took place on Saturday in the Ramrajatala area under Jagachha Police Station in Howrah.
Victim Bholanath Chatterjee was riding his bike when suddenly, one of the accused blocked his path. One of his aides then approached him, brandished a card, with ‘police' written on it, and forced Chatterjee to hand over the four gold-and-diamond rings and a gold chain he was wearing to him, police said. The accused then gave Chatterjee a few pebbles, wrapped in a paper, and fled, police added.
