Muggers take away Tk 4.5 lakh
Armed muggers shot and wounded a transport official and robbed Tk 4.5 lakh at Shimrail, Siddirganj on Monday. Tamijuddin Tamij, 55, manager of Khawja Garib-e- Newaj Transport, wounded by bullet in the leg, was admitted to local Maa General Hospital. Tamij said he withdrew Tk 5 lakh from Dutch Bangla Bank at Hajee Ibrahim Khalil Shopping Complex, Shmrail, at about noon. Five armed muggers riding motorbikes were waiting in front of the bank. When he was passing by, the muggers snatched away the bag full of money. As he raised a hue and cry, the muggers fired two gunshots, one hitting his leg, and scaring away the people. During the incident, a bundle of Tk 50,000 fell down, which he collected later.
