Mob beats 'robber' dead in Dinajpur
2012-01-27
An angry mob beat to death a suspected robber in Chirirbandar upazila of Dinajpur early Thursday.
The link actually has a map to show you where Dinajpur is. I sure as heck wouldn't have found it.
The robber could not be identified immediately, reports our Dinajpur correspondent.
Likely because he was beat to death...
Tariquel Islam, officer-in-charge of Chirirbandar Police Station, said a gang of around 25 machete-wielding masked robbers entered the house of Golak Chandra Roy, a farmer of Shahapara village, around 1:30am when a member of his family went out of his room to respond to the call of nature.

Holding the family members hostage, the robbers beat three of them and looted valuables worth Tk 5 lakh from the house.

Hearing screams of the victims, locals cordoned off the robbers and managed to catch one of them as they were fleeing. They gave him a good beating.

The critically injured robber was rushed to Dinajpur Medical College Hospital where duty doctors declared him death, the OC added.

The looted valuables include Tk 20,000 in cash, gold ornaments and two cell phones, the OC said quoting family members.
