Online Desk: City’s Ideal College student Adnan Sayeed Rakib fell prey to the muggers. When he declined to give his cellphone, he was stabbed with switch-gear knife. He later succumbed on his way to hospital. A case was lodge by Rakib’s family at Dhanmondi Police Station on Monday night in connection with the murder. Later, the three accused muggers were nabbed from Rayerbagh Slum.
They were 25-year-old Sumon Bhuiyan alias Bara Sumon and the rest two were juveniles. A switchgear knife and a battery-operated autorickshaw were also seized from their possession during their arrest. Addressing a press conference at the DMP’s Media Centre early Tuesday afternoon, DMP’s additional police commissioner (Detective) Mohammad Harun ar Rashid stated it to pressmen.
Harun ar Rashid said Adnan Sayeed Rakib and his friend Raiyan went to Rabindra Sarovar at Dhanmondi at about 9:30pm on Sunday. Muggers waylaid them when they were returning home on the footpath in front of nursery on the eastern side of Sheikh Jamal Ground.
The muggers took away the mobile phone of Raiyan first after beating him up. As Raiyan escaped running away from there, the accused sought the mobile phone of Rakib. As Rakib declined to give his mobile phone, the muggers first stabbed beneath his shoulder and left leg with a switch-gear knife. They then took away his mobile phone and moneybag.
The DB chief Harun said such an unwanted incident could have been averted if there were adequate amount of electricity on the roadside dark places.
