A gang of four halted Jahid, a salesman of Nim Garments at Bangabazaar, 50 yards from his shop and snatched Tk 80,000 from him after beating at about 2:30pm. He was on errands to buy clothes from Islampur for his shop.

Jahid was admitted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) with injuries.

Another gang of muggers took away Tk 10,000 from a crockery trader and a mobile phone from his friend at Tikatuli. One of the muggers stabbed Hanif, owner of a crockery shop at Swamibagh, when he put up resistance. His friend Jahirul escaped unhurt.

Hanif filed a case with the Sutrapur Police Station.
