Assailants snatched Tk3.25 lakh from the manager of a factory in the presence of police in Narayanganj yesterday.
The victim, Jahirul Haque, 32, works as the manager of Fair Textile in Rupganj’s Tarabat.
The crime was committed on the slope of Kanchpur bridge around 2pm, with witnesses saying police took no action to capture the perpetrators who sped away on two motorbike.
Officer-in-Charge of Kanchpur highway police station Sheikh Shariful Islam said Jahirul withdrew the money from bank and was on his way to office when some four to five people held him at gunpoint and took the money away.
“They also fired some blank shots. There were police near the scene but muggers commit such crimes very fast. We are probing if police failed to take proper action,” he added.
