Three more held over Mohammadpur robbery

The Detective Branch (DB) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police, or DMP, has arrested three additional suspects in connection with a robbery in the capital’s Mohammadpur.

The arrests occurred during raids across different areas of the capital, said the DMP in a press release on Sunday.

The suspects —Shariful Islam Tushar, 35, Zakir Hossain, 37, and Masudur Rahman, 47—had Tk 220,000 in cash, four bhori of gold, and two iPhones in their possession during the arrest.

Earlier on Saturday, the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) detained seven suspects linked to the same incident and recovered Tk 700 thousand which they had robbed during the robbery.

Of the detained, five were dismissed members of various security forces, while the others were civilians.

Lieutenant Colonel Munim Ferdous, director of the RAB’s law and media wing, noted that a gold bracelet, ring, and the microbus used in the robbery were also seized from the suspects.
