Two pirates, whose eyes were gouged out by a mob on Wednesday at Char Kukrimukri in Bhola district, died overnight at the local upazila health complex while police nabbed five more pirates from the area yesterday.
The bodies of Motahar Hossain alias Jalal, 31, and Lokman Hossain, 35, were sent to Bhola district hospital morgue for autopsies.
The five pirates were admitted to Charfession upazila health complex under police custody.
High officials of the district police and members of Coast Guard visited the spots.
Police and locals said a pirate gang on Wednesday abducted fishermen Babul, Ali Abbas Majhi and Harun Mridha along with their fishing boats from Diamonura and Dakatia Ghat on Meghna estuary.
A mob later caught the gang as the engine of the latter's trawler broke down. They gouged out eyes of two pirates and had beaten them up. Later, police rescued and admitted them to a hospital, said Reaz Hossain, officer-in-charge (OC) of Charfession Police Station.
Ali Abbas filed a case of dacoity with Charfession Police Station and police were preparing to lodge two more cases under arms act against the pirates, said the Charfession OC.
