Assailants have shot and wounded a man while robbing his jewellery store at Old Dhaka.
Suman Sutradhar, 36, owner of ‘Dhar and Co’ at Tantibazar, was admitted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital after the attack which took place at around 1:30pm Wednesday.
He was shot in his left thigh, said Inspector
Mojammel Haque of the DMCH outpost.
Seven to eight armed men attacked the shop, causing people to flee in panic, said shop employee ‘Swapan’.
He could not immediately indicate the worth of the jewellery looted.
But other workers said a hundred bhoris (1 Bhori=11.664 grams) of gold ornaments had been carried away.
Police have begun investigations, said Dhaka Metropolitan Police Lalbagh Division Deputy Commissioner Abdul Salam. “We are trying to find out how many pieces of jewellery have been looted.”
