Police hands recovered laptop to German tourist Kirill

Bangladesh Police have recovered and returned a missing laptop to German tourist Kirill Lander-Weber.

Inspector General of Police (IGP) Md Ali Hossain Fakir formally handed over the laptop to the tourist at Police Headquarters this morning.

Kirill arrived in Bangladesh on September 23 to visit the country's historical sites and tourist attractions.

On October 7, he reached Natore Railway Station and was waiting in the station's waiting room before travelling to India through the Darshana border.

He left his laptop and camera in the waiting room while going to a nearby ATM booth to withdraw money. Upon returning, he found the items missing and sought help from Natore Police Station.

The laptop contained important documents and records of his activities over the previous six months.

Following his written complaint, teams from Natore Sadar Police Station, Natore District Police, Railway Police and Tourist Police launched a coordinated operation to recover the missing belongings.

After several days of efforts, police recovered the tourist's laptop (MacBook) from Noor Clothing Store in the Kapuriapatti area under Natore Sadar Police Station around 9:30 pm on October 11.

Kirill expressed his gratitude to Bangladesh Police for recovering his laptop and shared his positive experiences during his visit to Bangladesh.

In recognition of their role in resolving the complaint and recovering the laptop, the IGP awarded financial rewards to Natore Sadar Police Station Officer-in-Charge Md Monsur Rahman and Sub-Inspector Mohammad Shahadat Hossain.
