Mitu was already acquainted with Md. Rubel Islam, another arrestee in the robbery case.
Through Rubel, Mitu became involved in the gang’s activities.
Posing as a customer, Mitu would enter banks and observe who was withdrawing large sums of money
She would then identify potential targets and relay the information to the other gang members via phone or messages.
Once the target left the bank with the money, Mitu would follow them and signal to the gang’s lookout men outside
She would also listen attentively to the target’s conversations to understand their route
Mitu’s primary role was to mark targets for the gang and provide them with as much information as possible about the targets.
