Rashed underwent treatment at Pabna General Hospital as he was hit by a bullet during the gunfight. Sub-Inspector Hassan Jahid of Ataikula police station said they raided Alodiar, a remote village of Santhia upazila, when the gang was holding a secret meeting about money they had looted from the village. The outlaws opened fire on police leading to a 30-minute gunfight as the security force reached the spot.
