On receiving information about the incident on Friday morning, the victimized shopkeepers blamed the negligence of Bhakhara police and raised questions on night patrolling. Regarding this, TI Sharad Tamarkar said that in view of the shortage of police force, we had already advised the businessmen of Palika Bazaar to hire their own watchman.
