Motijheel police said a team from
the thana led by the OC was on duty in Kamlapur area on Friday night. Seeing two motorbikes coming from AZ Colony at about 4am without headlights, they put up a road barricade to stop those.
But the bikes carrying at least five miscreants crossed the barricade and went through the Shantinagar Road. After a chase, the police car overtook the motorbikes and barricaded those on the road. The gang stopped but started firing.
Police replied with shots, injuring one of the miscreants, Syed Ahmad.
Police arrested three of the miscreants -- Naimuddin, Kader Khan and Riazul Haq Riaz -- and recovered a foreign-made revolver with three bullets and Tk 79,000 from their possession.
Police seized one of the motorbikes. One of the miscreants escaped with the other motorbike.
Syed Ahmad is being treated at Pangu Hospital under police custody.
A case was filed with Motijheel thana in this connection.
