In a shocking incident in Ashulia’s Nayarhat area, a gold trader was brutally attacked and killed by robbers who stole gold and cash after he resisted their attempt to snatch his belongings. The victim, Dilip Kumar Das (48), owner of Dilip Swarnalaya in Nayarhat Bazar, was attacked with machetes while closing his shop on Sunday evening. He later succumbed to his injuries at Enam Medical College Hospital in Savar.

Locals rescued the injured businessman and rushed him to the hospital, where he died during treatment. The exact amount of gold and cash stolen remains unknown.

Dilip’s relative, Khokon Sarkar, stated that three assailants tried to snatch his bag while he was closing the shop’s shutter.
