Kolkata: One of Kolkata's biggest and
busiest streets, Red Road, has been
keeping a secret.
A six feet-long and three feet-wide
wide tunnel has been discovered, the
work, according to the local police, of
drug addicts.
A senior Kolkata Police officer said the
offenders were trying to steal copper
wires and steel plates laid
underground for electric connections.
The material would fetch a lot of
money on the black market.
 
No one has been arrested so far.
Senior officers of the force rushed to
inspect the tunnel off the road, which
is in a high security zone as it passes
through Fort William, the headquarters
of the Army's eastern command.
Rajeev Mishra, joint commissioner
(HQ), Kolkata Police, said, "Though
some investigations are on, no terror
angle has been found. We are checking
antecedents of the five people
arrested in 2013 for digging a similar
tunnel. As of now, it seems to be an
attempt by drug addicts to steal
underground wires and sell them to
make some money."
In December 2013, another tunnel dug
illegally in the area was found and
five persons were arrested in this
connection. SOURCE
