The dear departed are Ramjan, 25, son of Nayamat Ali of Kamalpur village in Mymensingh district; Masum, 22, of Palan area under Haridebpur in the district's Kaligonj upazila; and Babul, 24, of Raynanda village in the upazila. Quoting the locals, Md Delowar Hossain, officer-in-charge of Kapasia Police Station, said a group of robbers numbering 12 had stormed into the house of Niranjan Das at Mirar Tek in the village around 4:30am. The robbers chopped the house owner and his mother as they tried to resist the robbery attempt, the OC added. Hearing the hue and cry, locals rushed to the house. Announcement was also made using the loudspeaker of a local mosque. The robbers also chopped one Russel when they were fleeing. Locals, however, managed to catch a member of the gang named Ramjan. They beat and stabbed him, leaving him dead on the spot. Later, in the morning, the locals found another two dacoits named Babul and Masum on the rooftop of a house in the village, and gave them a sound beating before informing the police. On information, police rushed to the spot around 10:30am, recovered the dead, and rescued the injured. The rescued were taken to Kapasia Upazila Health Complex. But the on-duty doctors declared them dead. Police also seized choppers, knives, and sticks from the spot that were used by the robbers. The bodies were sent to Gazipur Sadar Hospital morgue for autopsies. Murder cases accusing unnamed villagers will be filed, OC Delowar said at 5:45pm. |
