Police on Saturday arrested a man trying to hijack a car masquerading as a police officer in the Bhuigarh bus stand area in Fatullah of Narayanganj.
Md Shamim, 28, was apprehended by locals when he and three of his accomplices tried to hijack a car with its driver and a passenger inside, said Fatullah Model police station OC Aslam Hossain, quoting locals.
He said: “A police sergeant’s badge, two police jackets, a gun holster, a handcuff cover, a police hat, a police belt, a signal light, a walkie-talkie set, a walkie-talkie controller, and two pistol shaped lighters were seized from Shamim’s possession.”
When Shamim and his men boarded the car, they got into a scuffle with the men inside the car. Locals caught Shamim after the car collided with a covered van at Bhuigarh bus stand. His associates managed to escape, the OC added.
