Threat mail sender yet to be identified

Kolkata, August 02 The Kolkata police are still groping in the dark about the two unidentified youths who reportedly used the cyber cafe owned by Kaushik Basu in Salt Lake to send a threat email.

The police conducted rounds of various areas of Salt Lake with Sabitri Dandapat — the domestic help of the Basu family — but found nothing.

Police, however, are not ready to rule out the threat mail incident as a hoax. “We cannot say that the incident was a prank. Our investigations are on,” said Jawed Shamim, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Detective Department.

“Sabitri and Kaushik told us that one of visitors to the café had sent the terror mail. We have prepared a sketch of the accused and are trying to trace the miscreants,” an official of the detective department said.
