Equally shocked was the owner of Mahanagar Jeweller's, Tarak Gupta, who said: "They took Tk 4.75 lakh in cash and all gold ornaments from my shop."

Another team of three guards, coming to the building for morning duty, found the front gate open with no guard around.
"We found Enamul lying unconscious on the floor as we moved in," said Majed Sarker, who figured in the morning team. "We rushed to the security co-ordination office on the third floor and found Waliullah also unconscious in bed."

The robbers took away several keys from the supervisor, given by Yasin before he went onleave.
Waliullah also said two men arrived at the entry to the building and one of them identified himself as a bank manager and wanted to check out on the bank inside. The two left the building some time later and Waliullah came back to office.
