Two held with Tk 13.50 lakh stolen money
Police yesterday arrested two persons with Tk 13.50 lakh which were stolen from a steel almirah (cabinet) of a private service holder on October 27 from Kotwali area in Chattogram city.
The two arrestees are Md Dulal, 33, and Amir Hossain, 30, said police.
Kotwali Police Station's Officer-in-Charge (OC) Mohammed Mohsin said Md Didar, 40, a private service holder, had contacted Dulal to paint his almirah at his residence in Kotwali area on October 27.
While painting the furniture at Didar's home, Dulal spotted a secret chamber inside it where Tk 14 lakh were kept, said the OC, adding that Dulal and his associates later took the almirah away to one Mohsin Steel House in Baliyar Dighi in the name of renovation, without the consent of Didar.
When Didar came to know of the matter, he went to the shop but found his secret locker broken and the money stolen on October 28, said the OC.
“Didar's sister, who lives abroad, sent Tk 14 lakh to buy land in Chattogram. Didar kept the money inside the almirah for security,” said the OC.
After receiving the allegation, police started investigation and arrested Dulal and Amin from city's Bahaddarhat and Mia Khan areas early yesterday and later recovered Tk 8.60 lakh from their residence in Bakalia area, said the OC. Later, based on their confession, police recovered Tk 4.90 lakh from the house of Dulal's sister, in Cumilla.
OC Mohsin said Dulal gave confessional statement before a Chattogram court in the case after their arrest.
