Tk 13 lakh of Integra Group looted

According to sources, by a CNG-run autorickshaw Tanvir Hossain Iman, divisional in-charge of Integra Group, and office peon Akhil were going to deposit the money to the local branch of HSBC Bank at Agrabad from their local distribution office Integra Communications opposite the Fire Service Station.

As both the openings of road dividers at Choumuhani and Dewanhat intersections were blocked with barbed wire fence, they had to go through the Tigerpass intersection, sources said.

When the autorickshaw slowed down in order to come round a U-turn at Tigerpass intersection, two muggers got on it forcibly and held the victims at dagger's point.

The autorikshaw instantly took the road that ran through Polo ground instead of the one that leads to Agrabad and brought the victims to a quiet spot near CRB.

The muggers took the money stabbing Tanvir Hossain seriously as he tried to resist, and fled by the same autorikshaw.

Akhil was also stabbed when he went to save his boss, sources said.

Tanvir was taken to a city clinic where he was undergoing an operation, said Abdul Kayum Taslim, deputy manager of Integra Communications. The driver of the autorickshaw might be involved in the mugging, he said.
