Attackers armed with sharp weapons seriously injured a mobile banking agent, Nur Mohammad, 39, in Bhurungamari, Kurigram.
The attack took place around midnight on Monday, 19 October, near the businessman’s home at South Dewaner Khamar in Bhurungamari union of the upazila.
Nur Mohammad is the son of Akbar Ali of South Dewaner Khamar village. He runs bKash and Rocket agent banking at his shop, Nayan Telecom Store, next to M/s Saha Filling Station at Dewaner Khamar. The attackers left him injured in front of his own home and made off with the cash and mobile phone he was carrying.

He was first taken to the emergency department of Bhurungamari upazila health complex, and after first aid was moved the same night to Rangpur Medical College Hospital for better treatment. On the way to hospital that night he was taken to the police station, where officers took photographs and told the family to get him treated first, he said.
