Rabi, a centre forward in Bengal soccer team and a new star in Bengal football hails from Mosharu village in Mongalkote. Chief minister Mamata Banerjee already has declared Rs 50 lakh cash reward for the winning team, besides, government job for each of the team members. A delightful Rabi said, “Form fill up for our government jobs has already been completed and we are instructed to join within a month.” Rabi, as he expected, will be pressed into the West Bengal Police services as a sub-inspector. The SP, East Burdwan, Sayok Das at the reception estimated that Hansda would be offered a berth with the police services.
