An unpleasant experience for Soumya Sarkar

As per reports, seven mobile phones of the bridegroom’s party were stolen out of which one of them had belonged to the all-rounder's father. Even though the thieves were caught, they got aggressive and attacked Sarkar's family and relatives. The media persons were refrained from recording the incident. After some time, the police arrived on the scene after which not only things were normalized as well as the gadgets were recovered but the ceremony also went on smoothly.
