[Bangla Daily Star] Three youths were beaten to death by a mob over an alleged attempted robbery in Ashulia on the outskirts of Dhaka early yesterday.
Sumon was beaten to death by the mob near a bridge at Diakhali village, while the two others died in neighbouring Nishchintapur village around 1:00am when they attempted to rob a car driver, said Habibur Rahman, superintendent of Dhaka district police. Talking to The Daily Star, car driver Saiful Islam said he had been driving his own car-for-hire for the last five years. "The robbers obstructed my car by placing bamboos and branches of trees across a road at Diakhali. Sensing danger, I honked for sometime and cried for help. At one stage, some villagers came to my rescue, caught one of the robbers and beat him to death," he mentioned. A group of villagers, said Saiful, chased down the two others at Nishchintapur village, around 1.5 kilometres off Diakhali. Police said the mob beat the two to death at Nishchintapur. They also claimed the three youths were professional robbers. "All the three were professional robbers. Apart from Sumon, the two others are Hafizul Islam and Minhazul Islam. The duo were accused in a robbery case," said Badrul Alam, officer-in-charge of Ashulia Police Station. A gang of robbers, including the duo, looted the passengers of a vehicle on their way to Parbatipur in Dinajpur, carrying the body of Khadiza, a victim of the Rana Plaza collapse in Savar, he added. On April 4, a case was filed with Badarganj Police Station in Rangpur in this connection. | ||
