Amid tightened security at the Ekushey Boi Mela, a photo journalist’s motorbike was stolen yesterday afternoon.
Dhaka Tribune’s Staff Photographer Rajib Dhar went to the book fair on an assignment.
After coming back from the fair he found his bike missing. He immediately contacted police. There was a CCTV camera installed nearby but no footage was found in the police station.
Police said they could not preserve the footage or inform any patrol policemen as the CCTV camera could not record the incident due to power cut from around 1pm to 3pm.
The bike was stolen in between 1pm and 1:30pm.
A case was filed with the police station concerned yesterday evening.
