Hashmat Ali, 40, accounts officer of Mojibur & SH Joint Venture at Road No. 1 at Baridhara DOHS, is now undergoing treatment at Dhaka Medical College Hospital with critical wound in the back.

Two youths in a motorcycle followed Ali's microbus to his office after he drew the money from the Standard Chartered Bank in Banani.

"As he got down from the microbus in front of the office, one of the muggers shot him in his back and took away the sum," said owner of the farm Shahin Talukder.

In Moghbazar, five robbers went to Orient Chem-Tex Ltd. office in Tajuddin Ahmed Road at 1:45pm and attacked its officials Abul Kalam Azad and Golam Rabbani at the stairs without any notice.

As other officials raised an alarm, locals caught two of the robbers and beat them up until Ramna police rescued them.

Officials said the robbers followed sales executive Rabbani to the office after he drew Tk 2 lakh from a bank.
