Mugger lynched in Tangail
A mob beat up two muggers, leaving one of them dead, as they along with several others tried to rob a former UP chairman of his motorcycle on Wednesday night.
Police said a gang of five or seven muggers intercepted former Silimpur union chairman Hasmat Ali at Baruha when he was returning home from Delduar by a motorcycle at about 9:00pm.
As the gang tried to take away his motorcycle and other valuables, Hasmat raised an alarm, prompting local people to rush to his aid.
They caught hold two of the muggers and beat them up, but the others managed to escape. One of the muggers died on the spot, but his identity could not be known immediately. Tangail Sadar police sent the body to hospital morgue for autopsy.
His accomplice Madhab Chandra Rajbangshi of Kaliakoir, Gazipur, was injured seriously and later admitted to Tangail General Hospital under police guard.
