At least five police teams are hunting for the criminals across the city, sources said.

According to another police source, they suspect that two local, listed criminals, Pauruti Jalal and Alauddin, may have been involved in the robbery.

Police believe they could make headway if either could be arrested.

Meanwhile, the three bank officials picked up by Khilgaon police were released after questioning. Several others, picked up from the spot and adjacent areas, were released as well, as their involvement could not be confirmed.

Armed robbers looted about Tk 6.5 lakh from a Pubali Bank branch near Rampura Bazaar Tuesday noon and stripped two customers of over Tk 1.6 lakh.
