Desk Report: A group of muggers apparently deposit a part of their “earnings” in a fund — to use the money for fighting legal battles to free their arrested fellows or for treating those who got injured by mob beating during a mugging incident, reports Daily Star. The story came to light after detectives arrested eight members of a gang from Jatrabari and New Market on Friday night. “Detectives seized Tk 8 lakh of the fund money from the arrestees’ possession. It was collected by mugging,” said Abdul Baten, additional commissioner of the detective branch of Dhaka Metropolitan Police, at a press briefing at DMP media centre in Dhaka.
Baten said the gang used to fetch Tk 3 lakh to 5 lakh per month by mugging people.
They used to deposit some of the looted money for the fund and share the rest among themselves.
