Muggers shot a trader and snatched Tk 10 lakh from him at Dhanmondi in the city yesterday. Police said six muggers on three motorbikes intercepted a rickshaw, carrying two cosmetics traders of New Market, Omar Faruq Khan and Saifuddin Khan Tipu, near the playground at Road No 4 in Dhanmondi at noon and demanded money from them.

As the traders tried to put up resistance, the hoodlums shot Omar, snatched away Tk 10 lakh and fled the scene.

Omar Faruq was admitted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) with bullet wounds on his thighs.
