A gang of muggers on a CNG-run auto-rickshaw intercepted a rickshaw carrying two staffs of Patiya Traders near Banglabazar Ghat under Double Mouring Police Station yesterday around 12.30pm and took away Tk 1.52 lakh from Bappy, one of the staffs. MA Musa, proprietor of Patiya Traders, said the two staffs were coming to the office after drawing the money from Agrabad branch of UCBL Bank. He said they would not file any case in this connection due to bitter experience they faced earlier involving similar incident. Musa said “Seven years ago snatchers took away Tk 50 thousand from me while travelling on a motor bike. We filed a case with the Double Mouring PS but we could not get back the money. Moreover we faced lots of hassle.”
