Cops fail to trace threat letters

Statesman News Service
MALDA, Feb.13. — Despite setting up police pickets and deploying round the clock police patrol, the Malda SP has failed to trace the culprits, who are sending threat letters to extort local residents in the name of KLO at Pakuahat in the Bamongola police station areas. "The investigation is still on. We have gathered vital clues and also collected some threat letters as well as arrested some persons in this connection. It will take us a little more time to come up with solid evidences", said Mr DK Mondal, the Malda SP. "Till date, we have not come across any person, who was forced to pay to the extortionists", Mr Mondal added. Recently, the police reportedly received information that many local residents, school teachers, and government employees were receiving a threat letter in the name of KLO in the Pakuahat block. Reportedly, the threats started coming some three years back.
