A Detective Branch (DB) officer of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police has suffered minor injuries after two muggers attacked him in the city’s Mouchak area early Sunday.
Inspector Mahbubul Huq was attacked around 4:30am when he was on his way to home, said Deputy Commissioner Md Sajjadur Rahman of the DB police.
He was returning to his residence from his Mintu Road office riding on a rickshaw in the morning. When Mahbubul reached in front of Sirajul Islam Medical College and Hospital at Mouchak, a group of muggers waylaid him and snatched away his wallet.
As the DB inspector tried to resist them, the miscreants stabbed him, leaving the detective injured.
Later, he was taken to Dhaka Medical College and Hospital (DMCH), said Sub-Inspector Bachchu Miah of DMCH Police Camp quoting doctors.
“He suffered minor injuries on his right hand as a scuffle broke out between him and the muggers,” the SI said.
