Mob beats 2 'robbers' to death
Two alleged robbers were killed in a mass beating in Daripara of Keraniganj on the outskirts of the capital early yesterday.The identity of the dear departed could not be known immediately. Police said a gang of seven to eight robbers entered the house of Khalil Mia and held the family members hostage at gunpoint at about 1:00am. At one stage of looting, the robbers stabbed Khalil's two sons--Badal and Salauddin--indiscriminately as they tried to resist the myrmidons. Hearing the scream of family members, neighbours announced the presence of dacoits by a loud speaker and surrounded the house. When the robbers tried to flee the scene, angry mob caught two of them after a chase and beat them, leaving the two dead on the spot. The injured two brothers were taken to Dhaka Medical College Hospital at death's door. Police sent the bodies of two robbers to Mitford Hospital morgue for autopsies. Posted by: Fred 2011-06-23 |
