According to the statement, joint forces, involving the army and police, carried out an operation in the Chand Udyan area of ​​Mohammadpur around 12:30am on Thursday based on information that "terrorists" were preparing for a robbery.

During the operation, when the members of the joint forces surrounded both sides of a lane, the terrorists opened fire on them from the roof of a one-storey building.

The operation team immediately took countermeasures in self-defence and was able to arrest five terrorists with weapons.

Later, the house they were stationed in was searched and the bodies of two people were recovered from the roof, reads the statement.

A pistol, four rounds of bullets, and a machete were seized from the arrestees.

They were later handed over to Mohammadpur Police Station for legal action, said ISPR.

Earlier, around 3am on Thursday, Sub-Inspector Abdul Momin, duty officer of Mohammadpur Police Station, told The Business Standard, "Two people were killed in an exchange of gunfire with members of the joint forces during an operation in the 40-feet area of ​​Basila around 1am."

No member of the joint forces were injured during the incident, he added.

"The gunfire exchange lasted two to three minutes. At one point, five terrorists surrendered. When detaining them, the joint forces found the bullet-ridden bodies of two terrorists," Momin said.

Later in the day, police sources told TBS that the deceased were identified as Miraj Hossain, 25, son of Md Shahjahan Ali from Nurabad, Char Fasson, Bhola, and Md Jummon, 26, son of Abdul Sattar from Desh Bhuiyan, Gosairhat, Shariatpur. 

The five arrestees were also identified as Md Hossain, 23, Md Miraj, 25, Md Al Amin, 24, Mominul, 20, Md Mehedi, 17. According to police sources, all five hailed from either Bhola or Barishal.

All arrestees and the two deceased lived in different locations within Chand Udyan and its adjacent areas of Mohammadpur.

Following the operation, the bodies of the deceased were sent to Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital for autopsy.

Meanwhile, the arrested individuals remain in the custody of Mohammadpur Police Station as legal proceedings are underway, according to sources.
