A youth died while stealing a heavy (about 30 kg) battery of Robi Mobile Company Tower at Matlab Uttar Upazila early Wednesday.
The deceased was identified as Mohammad Selim,30, son of late Md Arab Ali hailed from Dakhshin Gazipur village of Matlab Uttar Upazila.
Contacted, Matlab Uttar Thana OC Nasiruddin Mridha has told this correspondent that Selim along with his accomplices went up on the tall Robi Tower beside Naburkandi Bazar early Wednesday (at around 4 am). The battery is about thirty kg. While stealing it, the battery suddenly fell upon his head and backbone causing him grievously injured. So, due to severe injuries, he could not come out of the small room of the tower. He was groaning. Hearing his groaning, a fisherman of the locality, while passing by him, saw him and shouted others to come and rescue him but could not dare to go to rescue the trapped Selim fearing touch of live electric wire/line. Meanwhile, other accomplices of Selim managed to flee in deep dark. In the morning on being informed of, Matlab Uttar Thana Police led by OC Nasiruddin rescued Selim in senseless condition and rushed him to the local Upazila Health Complex where the on duty doctor declared him dead.
