Mob beats ‘robber’ dead
An alleged robber was killed by a mob in Sundali upazila of Jashore late Saturday night.
The deceased was identified as Mamun Hossain, 34, son of Abdus Sobhan of Ziadanga in the upazila, said police.
Tajul Islam, officer-in-charge of Abhaynagar Police Station, said Mamun and his two accomplices hired a motorcyclist to take them to Abhaynagar in the night.
When they crossed Sundali Bazar area around 11:30pm, the three asked the rider to stop, said the OC quoting the rider Bidyut Mondal of Manirampur upazila.
Bidyut told The Daily Star that as Mamun pointed a gun at him and asked him to leave, he jumped on him in an attempt to grab him.
At one point, he succeeded to disarm Mamun and pin him down while the other two fled seeing locals gathering.
Locals then beat Mamun to death before police reached there.
The law enforcers recovered the body and sent it to Jashore General Hospital morgue for an autopsy.
A case was filed with Abhayanagar Police Station.
