A police officer was drugged and robbed of his mobile phone and money in a passenger coach on Saturday night.

Mahbubul Alam, officer-in-charge (OC) of Ramu Police Station in Cox's Bazar, was coming to Dhaka from Chittagong for official purposes by a Volvo bus, but he was found unconscious when the bus reached the Shohag Paribahan bus stand at Malibagh at 8:30pm.

On receiving information, Khilgaon police took him to the Rajarbagh Police Lines Hospital. Later, he was shifted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital.

On his way to Dhaka, the police officer took Iftar when the bus reached Comilla, said Sub-Inspector Kawsar of Khilgaon Police Station.

He became unconscious as a gang of criminals, known as Agyan party, might have mixed some drugs with his food, he added.
