Faridpur police chief Mahmoodul Hassan told local media that multiple investigative squads are actively pursuing the suspects behind the recent theft at the North Kalibari temple. The operation involved taking a 20‑kg Kali idol, gold ornaments, brass deity figures, and a silver snake. The temple’s management committee reported that none of the CCTV units were operational during the incident, a fact that may have facilitated the crime. Authorities are reviewing footage from nearby businesses and have appealed to the public for any information that could lead to arrests.
