The crime came to light this morning when office staff found the broken lock and immediately alerted the police. Upon inspection, authorities found that several important files, electronic equipment, trophies and cash had been stolen.
Speaking on the matter, Corporator Subhash Bhowmik expressed concern over the deteriorating condition of the ward office, stating that multiple requests for repairs had gone unanswered by higher authorities.
