Burglars Break Into CBI Camp Office in Agartala, Steals Door, Windows, Almirahs And Files

The theft came to light only when CBI officials visited the premises on February 11, 2025, and found themselves staring at bare walls.
Burglars broke into a CBI camp office in Agartala and took off with not just files or valuables, but almirahs, chairs, electric appliances, doors, and even windows! However, their victory was short-lived, as police arrested six of them and recovered most of the stolen items.
Addressing the media at New Capital Complex (NCC) Police Station on Thursday, SDPO Subrata Barman stated that the camp office, located in the highly protected Shyamali Bazar quarter complex area, had been closed for over five months.
He added that the theft came to light only when CBI officials visited the premises on February 11, 2025, and found themselves staring at bare walls.
Following a complaint lodged by one inspector Anurag of CBI, police launched an investigation under Sub-Inspector Jainal Hussain, leading to the detention of Biplab Debbarma and Raju Bhowmik. Their interrogation revealed the full extent of the operation, resulting in four more arrests.
The police successfully recovered eight steel almiras, seven wooden doors, four windows, a geyser, and four chairs, among other stolen items. The entire recovery process took place in the presence of an executive magistrate.
All six arrested are from adjoining Shyamali Bazar and Khejur Bagan area.
They will be produced before the court, while the police continue to investigate if any more items—or unusual ambitions—were involved in the theft.
Speaking on the matter, New Capital Complex SDPO Subrata Barman said, “On February 11, NCC Police Station received a complaint from Inspector Anurag of the CBI Agartala unit regarding the theft of valuable items, including an almirah, from their camp office in Shyamali Bazar.”
Barman said, “During the investigation, we found that officials last visited the office in September 2024. When they returned on February 11, they discovered the theft. Taking advantage of this five-month gap, thieves looted steel almirahs, doors, windows, electrical appliances, chairs, and other items. We registered a case and launched an investigation. Initially, we arrested two individuals, Biplab Debbarma and Raju Bhowmik.”
“After their interrogation, we recovered seven steel almirahs, seven doors, four windows, one geyser, and one chair. Following further investigation, we arrested four more individuals. We will produce them before the court, seeking police remand. All are residents of areas in and around the CBI camp office in Agartala,” he added.
