Desk Report,
The robbers kept an eye on the black bag of money, sometimes thick, sometimes thin.
Two businessmen from Mahmud Money Exchange in Mirpur regularly came and went on the same road with a black bag. Seeing this, the robbery gang planned to rob them. Then they collected information about the bringing and taking of money from local sources. In addition, they monitored the coming and going of the two men for a few days to see when the bag was thick and when it was thin. Seeing the bag was thick, they assumed that there was more money. Later, after making sure when the market in that area was closed and when there were fewer people on the closed days, the gang carried out the robbery on May 27.

That morning, Russell Rana and Zahidul Islam were walking out of their residence at Mirpur No. 11. They had the black bag in their hands. When they reached the alley behind the Fire Service Station at Mirpur-10 in the capital around 9:30 am, the robbers took Tk 2.1 million from them. At that time, they fired blank shots. Describing the incident, DB Joint Commissioner Mohammad Nasirul Islam said that the robbers had already taken positions at the scene wearing masks. Later, when Russell and Zahidul arrived at the scene, they blocked their path. One of them held a pistol to Zahidul’s head and forcibly snatched the bag he was holding. When they tried to resist, another robber opened fire. At one point, he hit Jahidul on the left thigh with a machete. When Jahidul fell to the ground, the robbers took the bag and fled on a motorcycle.
