SHO Dharampal Singh of Mansa Devi mirrored this sentiment and restrained herself from interacting with the media after first answering questions from the press. Moreover, he highlighted the challenge of providing information to the media while seeking to solve the case when he faced questions directly at the police station.

“If we disclose everything to the media, how will we manage to apprehend the thieves?” Dharampal Singh said.

The former Indian Cricket Board President reported the incident to the Thakurpukur police station on Saturday, February 11, bringing it to their attention. Moreover, the former batting legend urged the authorities to take action to avoid any misuse of the phone’s personal information and voiced concern that it contained it in his statement.
