Overview
- A 65-year-old Kolkata businessman-scientist, Rahul Kanti Jagdish Chandra Roy, filed a complaint saying 60 notes of $100 each were missing from his password‑protected travel bag after he checked into the Lands End hotel.
- According to the FIR, friends and several hotel employees entered the room at different times, and a friend left the travel bag partially open after retrieving medicine.
- Police registered a theft case and are examining hotel CCTV and interviewing staff to establish who had access to the room during the evening of the alleged loss.
- Investigators have made no arrests and have asked Roy to verify with his family that the cash was not left at home as they pursue all lines of inquiry.
- The hotel had not responded to requests for comment by the time of reporting, and the probe will hinge on CCTV analysis and staff statements to clarify the cash’s chain of custody.
