In a plot that sounds straight out of a movie, a jeweler in Manikganj staged a fake robbery at his own store to deceive everyone. Police said that 35-year-old shop owner Shubho Das of Abhi Jewellers, located in the Swarnakar Patti area, hired three men—Sohan, Amanat, and Sharif—for Tk 5 lakh to act out a robbery. On the night of October 4, the hired men entered the shop wearing caps, held Shubho at knifepoint, and took away 22 bhori (around 40 lakh taka worth) of gold ornaments. To make the act convincing, they even injured Shubho before fleeing. Locals rushed him to the hospital, believing it was a real attack. However, police investigation later revealed that Shubho had orchestrated the entire event. All four suspects were arrested from Shailipara, Pouli area, and police are now probing possible financial motives and other hidden agendas.
