Cattle trader stabbed, robbed of Tk 5 lakh

Criminals stabbed a local cattle trader and snatched Tk 5 lakh in Sharsha upazila of the district yesterday.

The victim, Faruk Hossain, 30, a resident of Satmile area in the upazila, is undergoing treatment at Jessore Medical College Hospital. 
Amin Uddin, father of the victim, said a gang of 5/6 criminals, led by Kabir and Mushtaq of Baganchhra village, intercepted Faruk's motorbike while he was going to Satmile cattle market to buy cattle around 8:45am.

They stabbed him indiscriminately and fled the scene with the money, added Amin.

The incident might have took place as a sequel to the previous enmity between two local rival groups over taking control of Satmile cattle market, said Enamul Haque, officer-in-charge of Sharsha Police Station.
