Police yet to make any headway

The police are yet to make any headway in the daring robbery of Hira Jewellers at Banani in the capital on Friday afternoon.

Meanwhile, a Dhaka court remanded the seven people including four employees of the jewellery shop arrested by the police on Friday afternoon for their suspected involvement in the heist in police custody for three days for interrogation.

Inspector Masud Karim, investigation officer of the case, told New Age on Sunday evening that they were yet to arrest any body or make any headway in the robbery.

He said, 'A court has remanded the seven people arrested after the robbery in our remand for quizzing. We sought custody for seven days but the court granted three days.'

The arrested people remanded in police custody are not accused in the case filed by the jewellery shop owner, he said, adding, 'but, the police suspect they were involved.'

On Friday, robbers posing as customers looted at least 800 tolas of gold ornaments from the jewellery shop. They held the employees of the shop on the first floor of Iqbal Centre at gunpoint during the robbery committed in broad daylight.
