DHAKA – On suspicion of mugging, a man was beaten to death by a mob in Dhaka’s Mohammadpur yesterday.
The deceased is Yamin, 23, of Bhola, said Inspector (Operation) Abdul Alim of Mohammadpur Police Station.
Around 3:30pm, a youth named Alif was returning home to Chandrima Model Town when two muggers snatched his phone. As Alif shouted “chhintaikari” (muggers), a mob formed at the Chandrima Model Town bridge and beat the suspects, the inspector said.
Police later rescued the duo and took them to Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital, where doctors declared Yamin dead. The other suspect, Fahim, 23, is in critical condition and undergoing treatment.
Police recovered the snatched phone, and Alif has filed a case with Mohammadpur Police Station.
