A government vehicle carrying two assistant revenue officers of Chittagong Custom House was vandalised by unidentified miscreants in the port city's Agrabad area yesterday morning.

The incident took place at CDA Gate-1 near Agrabad Jamburi Field when the two officers -- Asaduzzaman and his colleague, whose name could not be known immediately -- were heading to their office by the car.

Asaduzzaman is attached to the Customs Audit, Investigation and Research nit.

AIR unit Deputy Commissioner Tarek Mahmud said, "Three masked men riding a motorbike intercepted their car and vandalised it."

"At one point, the miscreants shouted 'shoot, shoot', when the officers got off the car and ran for their lives," he added.

"We also informed the police," he added.

Deputy Commissioner of Chittagong Metropolitan Police (West Zone) Hossain Mohammad Kabir said they have started an investigation.
