Robbers held from Meghna
Police arrested seven robbers from the Meghna river near Ekhlaspur in North Matlab upazila on Friday afternoon. Police said a gang of robbers, coming in a trawler, swooped on a rice-laden cargo in the river and looted the rice at gunpoint in the afternoon while the cargo was coming to Chandpur from Narayanganj. When the gang was fleeing with the looted rice, their trawler capsized due to strong current in the river. Later local fishermen caught them with the help of river police.
