Gold worth Tk 35 lakh looted in N'ganj


Robbers looted 334 tolas of gold worth about Tk 35 lakh from a jewellery shop at Kalimabazar in the town in the early hours of Sunday.

A gang of robbers entered the jewellery shop named Al Amin Jewellers breaking the lock at 3.15am on Sunday.

Police picked up night guards Farid Miah and Shahidullah for interrogation. They told the police that they left the place responding to the nature's call during the incident.

Narayanganj thana police said a patrol team was on duty at the Kalibazar Road at that time but they could not sense the incident as they were at one end of the road.

The shop owner filed a case with the Narayanganj thana. Police, however, could not arrest anyone in this connection.
