Miscreants yesterday afternoon shot and stole more than Tk3 lakh from a bKash agent in the capital’s Badda area.
BKash agent, Mohammad Faisal, 30, was shot in his left leg and later admitted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
An employee of Fox Block Distribution, he had collected Tk3,26,000 from the company’s client and was headed to Badda’s Notun Bazar.
On reaching Sahabuddin crossing at Maddhyabadda, two masked youth tried to snatch his bag. When he protested, one of them shot his leg.
In another incident, two men alleged that some five to six people, claiming to be DB police, forced them into a white microbus at around 12pm yesterday.
The victims were Idris ur Rahman alias Opu, and his friend Kabir Uddin.
Opu said he withdrew Tk 5,00,000 from the Panthapath branch of Al Arafah Islami Bank. When he and Kabir left the bank, some five to six people forced them into the microbus parked in front.
They covered the victims’ faces and looted the money, and later, left them at Taltola in Agargaon.
On informing the Kalabagan police, the police took them to the spot. SI Shamim Hasan said he asked many people but none had seen something strange or a microbus there.
“We then sent them to Sher e Bangla police station as the crime scene falls under their jurisdiction,” he added.
When contacted, the Sher- E- Bangla police station duty officer said he had not received any report till 7:30pm.
