A police team came under attack while attempting to arrest suspected robbers in Dhaka’s Mohammadpur area on Monday morning. The incident occurred when officers from Dhanmondi Police Station conducted a raid to capture suspects linked to a recent mugging. Sub-Inspector Saiful Islam was injured by sharp weapons during the confrontation, while a suspect named Shakib was shot in the foot when police fired in response. Three suspects, including Shakib, were later arrested.
According to Dhanmondi Police Station’s officer-in-charge Saiful Islam, the suspects had been lying in wait with machetes and other sharp weapons near Mohammadpur Town Hall. When police arrived around 6 a.m., the suspects attacked, prompting officers to fire warning shots before using live rounds to control the situation. Both the injured officer and the suspect are receiving treatment at Shaheed Suhrawardy Hospital and are reported to be out of danger.
Police said the arrested individuals, identified as Shakib, Palash, and Biplob, have prior cases related to robbery and other crimes.
