Police also seized a minibus used by the robbers and five big knives from the bus.
The robber, Mizanur Rahman, 30, was admitted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital with bullet in his back.
Savar police said a patrol team of law enforcement agency signalled a Savar bound minibus to stop on suspicion near Amin Bazar around 2:00am.
But the bus driver ignored the signal and the robbers started firing from the bus targeting the policemen.
The patrol team started chasing the bus and stopped it damaging the tires while firing at it near Bakutia area of the highway.
Policemen fired seven bullets to nab the robbers while the latter fired around eight from the bus, said Saiful Islam, Sub-inspector (SI) of Savar Police Station.
The robbers tried to escape the scene but bullet-hit Mizan failed.
Mizan, however, denied his involvement with the incident and said some six to seven miscreants took him on the bus at gunpoint around 1:00am from Jatrabari area.
There were no passengers on the bus, said SI Saiful adding the robbers were attempting to start hunting for prey on the highway using the bus.
