Suspected Bangladeshi dacoits looted Rs 75,000 and other valuables from a group of tourists and injured one person when he tried to resist at Piyali tourist spot in South 24 Parganas district.
Four families, comprising 15 members, were attacked at a hotel by about 12 dacoits who looted about Rs 75,000, gold ornaments, mobile phones and watches from them last night, police officials said today.
When one Sudipta Bose tries to resist them, bullets were shot at injuring him seriously. He was hospitalised. All the families hailed from Behala area of Kolkata, they said.
West Bengal's Urban Development Minister Firhad Hakim said "Bangladeshi criminals are doing this. We have told the SP to arrest the culprits immediately. We'll help the victim."
He blamed the Centre saying that criminals from the neighbouring country were entering India due to inadequate vigilance on the borders.
