Staff Correspondent
Unidentified criminals killed a railway employee at the cash room of Kamalapur Railway Station in the city yesterday and looted overTk 17 lakh earned from ticket sales.
The deceased, Israfil Hossain, 59, was a ticket booking clerk.
On information, law enforcers reached the spot around 5:30am and found Israfil lying dead on the floor of the room, with his hands and feet tied up, and mouth taped with scotch tape, said Dhaka railway police.
A temporary camp of Rapid Action Battalion was just 10 yards off the crime scene.

Station manager Khairul Bashir said Israfil was in charge of the cash room at night. "He joined for duty as a substitute cashier at the room at 10:00pm on Friday for the night shift, and discharged his duties until 11:30pm, when the counter was closed," mentioned Khairul.
"Some of the staff stayed back until midnight to help him [Israfil] with the accounts. They vacated the room after the job was done, leaving Israfil alone at the room."
Khairul added: As the morning shift staff entered the room around 5:00am, they found Israfil lying on the floor, and the vault open.
Multiple layers of security at the cash room were found undamaged, prompting the police to suspect that the assailants were acquaintances of Israfil.
Though 16 closed circuit cameras were installed at various points of the station, none was set up at the cash room, noted the station manager.
The station authorities have suspended six security guards and four railway police personnel.
The deceased's body was sent to the Dhaka Medical College morgue for an
autopsy. Morgue sources said the victim was strangled to death.
Station master Shakawat Hossain filed a case with Dhaka Railway Police Station in connection with the murder.
Railways Minister Muzibul Haque, along with railway high-ups, visited the spot around 9:00am.
Meanwhile, railway staff
in Chittagong under the banner of Bangladesh Railway Sramik Karmachari Sangram Parishad brought out a procession and held a rally at Chittagong Railway Station yesterday morning.
They demanded immediate arrest of the killers of Israfil and enhanced security measures at all railway stations.
