OC Enamul Haque said police raided the house of one Mukul getting information of a secret meeting for planning subversive activities.
“Sensing the presence of police, the Shibir leaders and activists exploded 20 to 22 hand grenades and started firing, forcing the law enforcers to fire back,” he said.
