After a few minutes they went back to the hotel, had dinner and went to sleep.

Around 2 pm, Ganguly woke up and saw someone was escaping out of the room.

He jumped out of the bed and turned the lights on but he couldn't find anyone. He noticed that the door of the room was open and their luggage and other bags were ransacked.
