Nilphamari:The Special Response Battalion (SRB)-13 has successfully apprehended the prime suspect involved in a robbery case from Mahiganj police station in Rangpur. The arrest took place early this morning at Ansarhat Bazar under Jaldhaka police station in Nilphamari district.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the arrested individual is identified as Raihan Babu, 38, son of Abdul Hossain from Gopaljhar Chairmanpara village under Jaldhaka police station in Nilphamari. The arrest was confirmed through an official press release issued this afternoon.
The robbery case dates back to April 30, when the victim, a housewife named Fatema Begum, boarded an auto-rickshaw in the Mahiganj area of Rangpur metropolis to visit her son-in-law's residence. During the journey, three other passengers joined her in the vehicle. Upon arriving at Mahindra village in Mahiganj Township, these individuals attempted to coerce the victim into purchasing a gold bar for Taka 5,000. When she refused, stating she only had enough money for the fare, they intimidated her and forcibly took her gold bangles and earrings.
Following this incident, Fatema Begum promptly filed a robbery case with the Mahiganj police station of Rangpur Metropolitan Police on the same day. Acting on a tip-off, a team from the Rangpur Sadar Company of SRB-13 conducted a raid at Ansarhat Bazar and arrested Raihan Babu at approximately 1 am on Friday. He has since been handed over to Mahiganj police station for further legal proceedings.
