Mob beat robber to death in Feni

A mob has beaten a suspected robber to death after they allegedly caught him as his gang was preparing to rob a house in Feni.

The incident was reported from Bhalukia-Gohadua village in Sadar upazila’s Kalidaha neighbourhood on Tuesday night, said Abul Kalam Azad, chief of Feni Model Police Station.

The dead man was identified as Amin Mahabbat, 25, a resident of Matlab upazila in Chandpur. He worked at a local decorator shop in Feni.

"A gang of armed robbers attacked the house of Afsar Mia, a local resident of Bhalukia-Gohadua area. The neighbours of Afsar chased the gang after they noticed them," said Kalidaha union council chairman Didarul Alam.

“One of the robbers hit a tree as he was fleeing and fell into a pond. The locals caught him and swooped on him as others fled.”

Later upon notification, police rescued Amin and took him to Feni Sadar Hospital, where doctors declared him dead, bdnews24 reports.

His body was taken to hospital morgue for autopsy. A case is being prepared over the incident, Azad said.
