A businessman was seriously injured in an armed robbery in broad daylight in Dhaka's Mirpur area today (27 May), when assailants shot him and made away with Tk22 lakh in cash.

The victim, Md Mahmudul Islam, 55, owner of Mahmud Money Exchange, was attacked on Abdul Baten Road near the Mirpur Stadium at around 10am, according to police. 

He was first taken to a private hospital by locals and later transferred to Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital for better treatment.
