On July 7, militants went to Sholakia, Kishoreganj to carry out their attack at the country’s largest Eid congregation but faced obstruction nearly 300 yards away from the Eidgah as a police check-post was set up near Sabujbagh Residential Area.
In the footage, it was also seen that the two militants who attacked the police at the check-post managed to escape as there was no other police officials near the area.
A militant named Abir Rahman, a student of North South University, was killed during a shootout with the police while another militant Shafiul was arrested with injuries and later admitted to Mymensingh Medical College Hospital.
Shafiul was killed in a reported gunfight between his associates and a RAB team when he was being taken to Kishoreganj for further investigation.
