Acting on a tip-off, a team of Rab-10 conducted the raid at 8 No Daroga Bari at Shahidnagar in Lalbagh at around 5:30pm where the criminals were planning to commit some crimes. Sensing the presence of the law enforcers, the criminals threw bomb at them from the second floor of the building, leaving the two Rab members wounded. The Rab team then encircled the house, broke in and arrested the criminals with the firearms, ammunition and explosives, the press release said. The arrestees are Liton, 24, Monir, 18, Rubel, 20, Jasim, 20, Kiran Shikdar, 22, and Anwar, 18. Liton sustained injury to his legs during the raid and was taken to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) for treatment.
