A robber was killed by a mob yesterday at village Domuria in Agoiljhara upazila. Kamrul Islam Mridha, 28, son of Moksed Mridha of Miarhat village under Kalkini upazila of Madaripur district was beaten to death when he along with his gang entered the house of one Nur Uddin Bepari by breaking open the door at around 2:30am. As the family members cried for help, neighbours rushed to the spot and chased the robbers. Locals caught two of the gang members and mercilessly beat up Kamrul who died on way to hospital. Injured Bashar Mridha claimed that he was a student of class ten. Looted gold and cash were recovered from the robbers.
