Later, a team of police conducted a drive in the area along with Mamun to recover arms.
When the team reached the area around 1am, a gang of terrorists opened fire on them, prompting the law enforcers to fire back in self-defence, triggering the gunfight.
Mamun received bullet while trying to flee and died on the spot. Police recovered one LG, several rounds of bullet from the spot.
Two policemen were also injured.
