Bank robbery foiled in Bhola, guard injured

A security guard was stabbed by robbers as he attempted to resist a robbery bid at a branch of Krishi Bank in Charfashion upazila of Bhola early today.

A gang of robbers entered the Sashibhuson branch of the bank, breaking the window grill around 4:00am, said Abul Bashar, officer-in-charge of Shashibhuson Police Station.

Later, Billal Hossain Jhantu, 35, a security guard of the bank, tried to prevent the bandits from committing robbery.

At one stage, they stabbed Billal indiscriminately, leaving him critically injured.

As Billal raised a hue and cry, local people rushed in and took him to a local hospital from where he was shifted to Barisal Shere-e-Bangla Medical College Hospital.

Sensing the presence of the local people, robbers managed to flee the scene.
