Indian journo robbed
An Indian cricket journalist had his valuables snatched when he was returning to the hotel after covering the Bangladesh-Pakistan Asia Cup opener at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium on Sunday night.
Siddarth Ravindran, a reporter of ESPNCricinfo, was on a rickshaw when two men in a bike snatched away his bag, which contained a laptop, digital camera, travel documents and 3,000 rupees.
After hearing of the incident, Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) officers informed the Officer-in-Charge of Mirpur police station and they rushed to the Mirpur-1 hotel.
"We sincerely regret the incident, which has happened for the first time," said BCB media manager Rabeed Imam. "We will help the police investigate the matter and will provide Siddarth with any help he requires at the moment."
Acting CEO of BCB Nizamuddin Chowdhury has also contacted the Indian High Commission to help the reporter with the travel documents.
