that was carrying the money from Brac Bank’s Sylhet city branch at
Zindabazar to Bishwanath branch yesterday.At about 3:15pm, the robbers waylaid the car near Lalabazar at Dakkhin
Surma upazila on the Dhaka-Sylhet highway and took away the money at
gunpoint, said Mohammad Ayub, additional deputy commissioner of Sylhet
Metropolitan Police (SMP).Apart from the driver, only Gaohar Chowdhury, assistant manager of the
bank’s Bishwanath branch, was in the car, said Officer-in-Charge Ranjan
Samonta of Dakkhin Surma Police Station.Zishan Koushik, the bank’s head of communications and services, told
this correspondent that the bank official had collected the money from
the city’s Dakkhin Surma and Bandarbazar branches as usual.Zishan mentioned that one of the attackers first hit the driver in the head with his pistol and grabbed the car keys.Police were informed that the money would be sent to Bishwanath, he
said, adding, however, that the branches carry money without any
additional security.However, SMP Additional Commissioner SM Rokon Uddin said the bank had not informed the police about the matter.SMP Deputy Commissioner Mushfiqur Rahman said it was mysterious that the
