Daylight robbery on busy Gazipur highway caught on dashcam

In a brazen incident captured on a vehicle's dashcam, three miscreants publicly snatched money from a bakery delivery van driver along the busy Dhaka-Mymensingh highway in Gazipur's Targach area.

The incident took place at around 10:00PM on Monday (November 9), unfolding in the presence of several pedestrians and a security guard.

Footage circulating widely on social media shows the driver parked alongside the highway with his delivery vehicle before being surrounded by three individuals who forcefully extract cash before fleeing the scene.

Despite onlookers and a security guard standing nearby during the robbery, none intervened to assist the victim. The dashcam footage from a passing car clearly captures the perpetrators' faces.

Investigative journalist Zulkarnain Saer shared the video on his personal social media account, detailing the incident and calling for strict law enforcement action as well as community resistance against such crimes.

The daylight robbery on a congested, high-traffic thoroughfare has triggered widespread concern and anger among locals, who view criminality in populated zones as a severe threat to public safety. Residents have urged authorities to review the video footage, swiftly identify and apprehend the culprits, and step up police patrols and surveillance along critical highway checkpoints.
