3 held for snatching woman's handbag
Unidentified miscreants shot the IT in-charge of Daily Sun and snatched his motorcycle near the capital's Mohakhali flyover, and in another incident three muggers were caught before the High Court while trying to flee with a handbag yesterday.
Bullet-hit Romel Ferdous, 26, is undergoing treatment at Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
Romel dropped his elder brother at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport and was returning to his Mirpur section-2 residence when a microbus rammed him from the left before BAF Shaheen College around 5:30am.
The miscreants inside the vehicle then shot at him five times, three hitting his right leg and another his abdomen. One mugger then rode away with the motorcycle, said Tejgaon Police Station Officer-in-Charge Apurbo Hasan.
In the other incident, the three muggers, riding a CNG-run three-wheeler, had snatched the handbag from a woman, on way to Sadarghat, at Puranan Paltan around 1:00pm. A good Samaritan on a motorcycle helped the woman's husband, Shahadat Hossain, chase the vehicle down. Passers-by beat and handed the three over to police. Police seized the vehicle. The good Samaritan could not be traced.
