The police officer told this correspondent, “I had asked the family head of Dev Bhavan very close to this secret hole to get it plugged with brick months ago, but the family has done nothing tangible.”
“I have again asked the same family to do it at the earliest, and if the family goes back on its word of plugging the secret hole, then police will get it done”, added the police officer.
The police officer even gave his phone number to a boy of this Dev Bhavan, asking him to phone him if there arises any problem.
