The missing laptop contained important documents and records of his activities over the previous six months. Following his written complaint, several teams from Natore Sadar Police Station, Natore District Police, Railway Police and Tourist Police launched a coordinated recovery operation.
The MacBook was recovered from Noor Clothing Store in the Kapuriapatti area of Natore Sadar around 9:30pm on Sunday.
Krill expressed his gratitude to Bangladesh Police and shared his positive experiences of travelling in the country.
In recognition of the swift resolution of the foreign tourist’s complaint and the successful recovery of the laptop, the IGP awarded financial rewards to Natore Sadar Police Station Officer-in-Charge Md Monsur Rahman and Sub-Inspector Mohammad Shahadat Hossain.
The IGP praised the officers for their professionalism, dedication, sense of responsibility and teamwork. He also instructed all police units to ensure prompt and professional services, strengthen public confidence, ensure the safety of local and foreign citizens, and help create a tourist-friendly environment.
