An ex-deputy director of the expatriates' welfare and overseas employment ministry and his two relatives were injured when they tried to resist a gang of robbers early yesterday at their flat in Kafrul of the capital.
The robbers looted about 23 tolas of gold, around Tk 3.5 lakh and $200 cash and cell phones from the flat, family members said.
As the gang members were fleeing, local people chased them and caugh t Sayeed, 28.
Beating up Sayeed, the mob handed him over to police.
The injured were Zafar Ullah Chowdhury, 60, the ex deputy director who is now an expatriate in America, his nephew Jahangir Chowdhury', 47, and brother-in-law Parvez, 35.
Jahangir and Parvez were admitted to Dhaka Pongu Hospital while Zafar took treatment from Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
Narrating the incident, Arshad Ali Mandal, a nephew of Zafar, said five robbers around 3:30am entered the flat on the second floor of a six-storey building at Senpara Parbata by cutting some grills.
They first entered Parvez's room and took him hostage, brandishing sharp weapons. They made Parvez to wake Zafar up. As Zafar opened the door, the robbers demanded the key of his almirah, Arshad said. When Zafar resisted, they stabbed him in the hands and took away the cash from the almirah.
Later, the gang broke into Jahangir's room. They took gold ornaments of Zafar's sister-in-law and Jahangir’s wife, holding their two children hostage.
Iftekhar Hossain, subinspector of Kafrul Police Station, said they had visited the spot, adding the robbers had climbed up a pipe to get into the flat.
"As the family members kept resisting the robbers, they also stabbed Jahangir and Parvez."
Hearing their cries, locals rushed to the spot but by that time all but Sayeed managed to climb down the pipe and fled.
Police recovered Tk 15,000 from the possession of the arrestee and a Molotov cocktail and a chapatti.

The officer-in-charge of the police station said they were investigating the incident.
