Police have arrested three alleged members of a mugging gang while they were reportedly planning a mugging operation in the Uttarkhan area of Dhaka late Sunday night.
The suspects, identified as Md. Nayan (20), Md. Sabbir Hossain (21), and Md. Jihad, were arrested by a team from the Uttarkhan Police Station under the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP). Acting on a tip-off, officers conducted a raid near the Rajabari Ghat area around 11:30 pm and arrested the three individuals before they could carry out their plans.
During the operation, police recovered two knives and an iron rod from their possession, said Dep-uty Commissioner (media) of DMP Talebur Rahman.
According to Uttarkhan Police sources, the suspects were preparing to target victims on a paved road near Rajabari Ghat when law enforcement intercepted them. Preliminary investigations have revealed that the three men are active members of a professional gang involved in muggings and theft across Uttarkhan and other areas of Dhaka.
