By Rajshahi police have arrested a rickshaw puller, Md. Masum (30), for his involvement in a robbery where chili powder was thrown into a man’s eyes to steal Tk 10.5 lakh. The incident occurred on April 20 in the Ghoramara area. The victim, Dilip Kumar Pramanik, a manager at a motor parts store, was traveling with Tk 13 lakh when Masum diverted the rickshaw into a narrow alley, where two accomplices on a motorbike attacked. They sprayed chili powder in Dilip’s eyes, slashed his arm, and stole the bag containing the money. Masum fled the scene without taking fare, raising suspicion. He was later arrested from his village home in Naogaon and confessed to the crime. Police are continuing efforts to recover the stolen money.
