Mayabunder, Feb 11: Dozens and dozens of youths and men come out in Webi Village road with rods, sticks and other weapons as soon as the sun sets, looking for an unknown threat, which nobody has seen but everyone is talking about. Everybody in the village is talking about an unknown attacker who is breaking inside houses of Webi Village but nobody has actually has seen the intruder.
This was the condition of Webi Village of Mayabunder till yesterday. These rumours kept the entire village busy even the rumours spread upto Port Blair city.
When enquired into this matter it was found that some kind mass hysteria has hit the Webi village, under which everybody feels that some intruders have entered inside their village and are also breaking inside their house as it happened in New Delhi some years back in “Monkey Man case”.
This forced the men and youths of the village to come out in open and protect them. But surprisingly no one lodged any FIR in Police Station and no eye witness has come forward.
When A & N Police heard this news the frequency of patrolling was increased inside and outside the village, which brought things under total control.
According to police since the Police Department urged public to remain inside their house after sunset no incident of intrusion has come forward and situation is completely under control. However, the SHO of Mayabunder was unable to contact over phone for comment, even after repeated attempts.
