| 2010-12-05 |
| [Bangla Daily Star] A mob beat dead three alleged members of a robber gang who had opened fire on locals killing one at Muradnagar upazila in Comilla yesterday. Police said some 10 to 12 people on a microbus had intercepted another microbus carrying a group of businessmen near Elliotganj Bazar in the morning and robbed them of Tk 16 lakh. While hurrying to make their get-away, the gang's vehicle plunged into a roadside ditch. As locals came forward sensing trouble, the criminals shot up them, leaving three locals -- Kazi Mohammad Siraj, Zakir Hossain and Vanu Bhushan Saha -- injured, said witnesses. The mob caught three gang members and beat them to death on the spot. The identities of the dear departed trio could not be known immediately. The rest of the gang, however, decamped. Locals caught one unidentified person on suspicion and handed him over to police. Bullet-hit Siraj died at Comilla Medical College Hospital. The two other maimed have been sent to Dhaka for treatment. Law enforcers recovered one pistol, one revolver and five bullets from the scene of the crime. |
