Personnel from intelligence agencies and Mohammadpur police are interrogating manager of the shop Rakhal Chandra Karmaker picked up after the robbery. After interrogating all 17 employees of the shop, they freed 16 of them.
Last night police showed Rakhal arrested. They arrested another employee Maruf.
Mohammad Masudur Rahman, additional deputy commissioner of Detective Branch of Police (DB), told The Daily Star, "The CCTV cameras remained turned off between 11:21am and 11:49am, the time of the robbery."
"We interrogated the manager about the CCTV cameras... his answers did not satisfy us," he said,
adding, "If the CCTV mystery is unearthed, the robbers may be identified."
The shop authorities early yes-terday filed a case with Mohammadpur Police Station claiming a loss of about Tk 3 crore.
Kazi Ariful Islam, shop-owner Kazi Mohammad Amin's son, in the case statement said the looted ornaments include 198 gold chains, 122 necklaces, 86 bangles (3 types), seven pieces of gold, five gold rings, 34 gold hair ornaments, five tiaras and two gold cutleries.
Talking to The Daily Star, Afizul Islam, officer-in-charge (OC) of Mohammadpur Police Station, said, "According to our preliminary investigation, the CCTV cameras, usually handled by the shop author-
ities, were turned off."
"We arc investigating the CCTV mystery... we are also investigating whether other traders of the market were involved as there was a feud among traders of the market,' he said.
According to employees of Amin Jewellers, a gang of robbers at gunpoint robbed over 700 tolas of gold at the shop on the first floor of Prince Plaza Shopping Centre Tuesday morning.
None of the neighbouring shop owners or employees witnessed the incident.
Even though the close circuit television (CCTV) cameras were turned on, they had no footage of the robbery. However, they had footages of occurrences before and after the robbery.
