A daring burglary took place on Tuesday night at a rented apartment of two civil judges in the Amlapara area of Jamalpur municipality. According to the victims, the intruders cut through the window grill and stole around eight bhori of gold ornaments, a diamond ring, cash worth Tk 100,000, and other valuables. The victims, Civil Judge Ahmadul Kabir Sakil and his wife Civil Judge Nusrat Zerin Jenny, discovered the theft after returning home and finding the door locked from inside and the house ransacked.

The couple had been living for seven months on the third floor of a three-storey building owned by Anwar Hossain. The building’s CCTV cameras were reportedly non-functional at the time of the incident. The owner suggested that the cameras might have been deliberately disabled before the burglary. Local residents expressed concern that such a bold theft could occur in the home of judges, questioning the effectiveness of urban security and surveillance systems.

Police confirmed visiting the scene and said the case is under serious investigation. Legal action will follow upon receipt of a written complaint.
