6 members of robber gang held in Ctg
Police have arrested six members of an inter-district robbery gang at a hotel in Chattogram city's City Gate area early yesterday.
The law enforcers said the gang used microbus and mugged people in guise of passengers.
The arrest was made in a joint drive after police started investigating the murder of Hossen Master, an expatriate in Dubai and a resident of Mirsarai upazila. He was mugged in similar fashion and beaten to death in Chattogram last month.
However, the microbus used in the robbery is yet to be recovered.
Shah Alam Akon (32), Abul Kalam (47), Jakir Hossen alias Towhid (36), Alamin (29), Nahidul Islam alias Harun (31) and Mizanur Rahman (53) were shown arrested in the murder case.
Police said Abul Kalam is an accused in bank and jewellery shop robbery cases. The criminals got acquainted with each other in jail and formed the gang.
Shamsul Alam, additional commissioner (crime and operation) of Chattogram Metropolitan Police, said, "The gang used to take people in a microbus on highway. They later snatched their valuables and left them in different areas."
