Shahjahan Akand Shuvo, head of the crime department at the Dainik Amader Somoy, and his wife were robbed in the Shyamoli area of Dhaka.
The incident took place at around 7:15 am on Saturday near the footbridge opposite Shishu Mela in Shyamoli.
Journalist Shahjahan Akand Shuvo said he was traveling from Azimpur to Kallyanpur in an autorickshaw to drop his wife off at a bus bound for Kushtia for an urgent family matter.
When the autorickshaw carrying them reached the road opposite Shishu Mela, two robbers on a motorcycle approaching from behind snatched his wife's vanity bag and quickly fled toward Shyamoli.
He further said the stolen bag contained cash, a mobile phone, a bank debit card, a metro rail card and other valuables.
The journalist, who was the victim of the robbery, said he had filed a written complaint with Mohammadpur Police Station over the incident.
