Khamin looks at the ongoing trend of car thefts and carjacking in the city revealing how the gangs prey on private car owners and drivers
It is 12:00am at night on April 7. After the day's work, Sarker Maswood Hasan, chief executive of a public relations firm Concito PR was driving home in his silver Allion car. As he approached the HSBC bank on Dhanmondi 27, one of the tyres burst out. The time was not favourable to find help on the street. It was almost barren and the few cars that moved, sped away.
Maswood got out of his car to fix the tyre himself. He did so only to realise the whole tyre leak was a trap laid out. Five men appeared out of the dark and surrounded Maswood as soon as he fixed his tyre. They threatened him with explosives. On a barren street, Maswood could do very little to protect himself against five muggers.
