Robbers have shot one businessman in Gazipur and snatched away Tk6.65 million from him.
The incident took place on Sunday in the Maleker Bari neighbourhood along Dhaka-Mymensingh Highway.
The victim, Robiul Islam, owns a garment company, RN Corporations, in Tongi.
His chauffeur Mozammel Hoque said Robiul came under attack while returning to his factory from Islami Bank’s
Gazipur Chowrasta branch.
Robiul withdrew the money from the bank to pay his employees.
“A yellow pickup truck blocked our way and 4-5 men came from behind by motorbike and encircled the car,” said Mozammel.
“They broke the windshield and windows of the car and physically assaulted Robiul and his accounts officer.
“At one point, they shot Robiul and fled with the money,” he said.
Robiul has been admitted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
Police Sub-Inspector Zakir Hossain said Robiul did not inform the police that he was carrying a huge amount of cash. Anyone carrying more than Tk 500,000 must inform police for security reasons, as per the law. The SI said police were trying to retrieve the money.
