Staff Correspondent
Armed muggers looted about Tk 20.8 lakh from two people in separate incidents in the city yesterday after shooting and injuring one of the victims.
The muggers shot and injured Azad Hossain, an owner of an ice cream distributing agency, before looting Tk 8.6 lakh from him at Lalbagh while the other gang looted Tk 12.2 lakh from Amal Kumar Das, manager of a filling station at Nikunja.
Both of them fell victim to mugging when they were going to banks on foot to deposit the money.
Azad Hossain, 35, who received bullet wounds in the chest and thigh, was operated upon at Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) last night. His condition was stated to be critical.
Witnesses and police said four muggers riding on two motorbikes were waiting near Azimpur Orphanage Market, around 50 yards off the bank. As Azad, an owner of Seba Enterprise at Azimpur, and a security guard of his agency Abdus Sattar were crossing the area on foot at about 10:45am, two muggers tried to take away a handbag containing Tk 8.6 lakh from Azad.
"When Azad tried to resist the muggers, one of the muggers shot him twice and made off with the cash," Abdul Awal, another owner of the agency, said quoting the security guard.
Locals said the muggers were waiting at the place for about 15 minutes.
In the other incident, a gang of four muggers waylaid Amal Kumar Das, manager of Nikunja Filling Station, and two of his colleagues, around 100 yards off the bank when they were going to the bank at Nikunja on foot at around 10:40am to depositTk 12,19,203.
The police said the muggers in a private car intercepted them, pointed a firearm to Amal and made off with a bag containing the money.
As the muggers sped away, the police sent messages via wireless, prompting traffic policemen intercepted the car at Zia International Airport intersection, Offlcer-in-Charge of Khilkhet Police Station Zia-uz-Zaman said.
As the police signalled the car, all the muggers except one came out of the car and managed to run away with the money and firearms. The police arrested a mugger, Zakir Hossain, and seized the car.
Later, the police also arrested Mohammad Alam, an employee ol the filling station, after Zakir told the police that Alam provided them with information.
The OC also said Zakir told the police that .Mam had been maintaining relation with the top leadei of the gang for a long time.
"Wc also found the gang leader'; cellphone number in the call list ir Alam's mobile phone," he said.
