At one stage, the magistrate asked the IO where he kept the rest of the Tk 6.43 crore that was recovered, according to media reports. The IO failed to give the answer. The magistrate then expressed his dissatisfaction over anomalies in making a seizure list in the case, said advocate Gazi Hasan Mahmud, who was present at court during the remand hearing.

“I will not give you any chance to swallow a single taka seized from the robbers,” said the magistrate. The IO then told the court that he would file another seizure list before the court within a short time. Meantime, the magistrate placed the eight robbers on five-day remands.

The arrestees are: Sanowar Hossain, 28, Emon alias Milon, 33, Badrul Alam, 33, Mizanur Rahman, 20, Sonai Mia, 28, Enamul Haque Badsha, 26, Akash Matbor, 25, and Sagar Matbor, 22.

No lawyers stood in court to defend them. The robbery was committed in Turag area around 7:15am on March 9 when officials of Money Plant Link Private Ltd, the firm hired for transporting money to DBBL ATMs, were heading towards Savar EPZ in a rickety Toyota Noah from Mirpur DOHS with Tk 11.25 crore in four trunks.
