Police said Selim was accused in nine cases, including theft and robbery.

Purnima Saha, daughter-in-law of Gopal Chandra, said two thieves entered their house by digging a tunnel.

She alleged that the intruders held her and her child hostage at knifepoint after entering the house. She said they took Tk 3.5 lakh in cash, eight bhori of gold ornaments, and the jewellery she was wearing at the time.

“When they were trying to escape, we screamed for help, and my brother-in-law tried to catch one of them. Later, the villagers arrived and managed to catch one person,” Purnima said.
