Angry mob lynched two robbers to death and left another one critically injured in Cumilla's Muradnagar early Friday, police said.

They caught the three robbers with local weapons as they took refuge at a Palasuta house after robbing villagers in another place of the upazila, Kamruzzaman Talukdar, officer-in-charge (OC) of Muradnagar Police Station, said.

After that, the locals surrounded the robbers and started assaulting them, leaving two of them dead and other seriously injured, the OC said.

The injured robber is undergoing treatment at Cumilla Medical College Hospital and still not out of the woods.

The bodies were sent to the hospital morgue for post-mortem, the OC said.
