The police have recovered other stolen items from their possession, including cell phones, which the gang collected by mugging around the airport area.
On Wednesday (31 August), the Jatiya Party leader was returning home around 11pm. He rolled down the glass of his car as the air conditioner was not working. A young man snatched his phone and fled the scene.
Airport police station Officer-in-charge BM Forman Ali said that a case was filed in this regard.
He said that during the investigation of the case, two members of the gang, Azizul and Aziz, were brought into custody on Wednesday (7 September) morning.
The mobile phone exchanged hands three times before it was recovered.

Right before that, Ismail sold the phone to Sanaullah for Tk20,000 who had then sold it to Subal for Tk22,000. The duo were arrested from Bashundhara City later that day.
