Three of the four militant suspects were killed in suicide blasts and the other died from bullet wounds, according to one of the doctors who conducted autopsies on them on Friday.

The bullet-hit man was identified as Rafiqul Islam alias Abu, an operative of terror outfit “Neo JMB” while the identity of the other three was yet to be known, said police sources.

Police on Friday filed a case with Shibganj Police Station under the Anti-terrorism Act against Abu’s wife Sumaiya Begum, who was brought out from the house along with her six-year-old daughter alive after the drive on Thursday, Chapainawabganj Police Super TM Mujahidul said.

Law enforcers cordoned off the house early Wednesday and the operation codenamed “Eagle Hunt” was launched in the evening.

Members of SWAT (Special Weapons And Tactics) entered the hideout around 5:30pm on Thursday and found the four bodies lying in a room.

The four “Neo JMB” militant suspects had holed up at the one-storey house at Shibnagar Trimohoni in the upazila, said police.
