The incident was reported from Char Uria village in the district’s Sadar upazila around 3am on Saturday (Feb 9), said police.

“Police rescued the robber and admitted him to Noakhali General Hospital where the doctor declared him dead,” said Sadar police OC Anowar Hossain.

Quoting the locals, Hossain added that a pipe-gun was seized from the scene and a case will be opened over the incident.
