Sherpur: A robbery took place early in the morning at Shatrupa Jewellers in the district town, where thieves made off with gold and silver jewellery worth approximately Taka 30 lakh. The theft occurred early morning on Monday at the shop located in the Kharampur area of the district town.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Atiqur Rahman Taposh, the proprietor of Shatrupa Jewellers, reported that he had closed the shop on Sunday night and returned home. Upon arriving at the shop on Monday morning around 11 am, he found the jewellery trays in disarray. Further inspection revealed that the lock of the shop’s iron chest had been broken, and the thieves had accessed the shop by breaking a section of the tin shed roof.
