The copy of letter was sent to the local press also. The letter said '' police kaku, bajir sabde ami o banu bhoy pai, chamke uthi,'' tumi eta bondho koro Police uncle, my little sister and me are frightened of sound crackers.Please stop this and help us.'' After receiving this appeal, Officer-in-charge Satyendra Basu here said, '' We also want to stop this sound cracker but when police conducted raids in shops, they found only soundless crackers.
