Four bullocks were stolen from the cowshed of a small cattle trader in Ishwardi, Pabna. The incident occurred late on Monday (November 2) night at the residence of Isrul Pramanik in the Jainagar Paschimpara Madrasa More area of the upazila. The estimated market value of the stolen cattle is around Tk 4.75 lakh.
The theft came to light on Tuesday (November 3) morning when Isrul Pramanik's son, Mohidul Islam, went to the cowshed to let the cattle out. Finding none of the four cattle in the shed around 6:00 AM, he informed his family members. As news of the incident spread, it created widespread anxiety across the area.
According to victimized family sources, one of the four stolen cattle had been reared at home, while the remaining three were purchased from a cattle market a few days ago. Isrul Pramanik bought the cattle using his hard-earned savings and borrowed funds.
