Burglars tie up cricketer's wife

DHAKA, MAY 15. Burglars tied up the wife of Bangladesh's star wicket-keeper Khaleda Masood and fled with cash and jewellery worth $5,770 (about Rs. 2.5 lakh) from his home in Dhaka, police said on Monday.

Police said they were yet to track down the burglars, who raided the house in the Mirpur area when the cricketer's wife, Deeba Masood, and mother-in-law were alone on Sunday.

``This was done by the locals. They knew well that me and my father-in-law will be absent at that time,'' Masood told the Daily Star newspaper.

Masood, who lives in the southwestern district of Rajshahi, has made his father-in-law's house his home in Dhaka.
