Police arrested three people in connection with an attack on Joydebpur Railway Police Outpost in Gazipur aimed at snatching detained suspects.

The suspects were identified after analyzing CCTV footage from the scene. Police filed two separate cases over the incident, including one by an injured police officer.

Farooq Hossain, in-charge of Joydebpur Railway Police Outpost, confirmed the arrests and filing of cases on Friday morning.

According to police, a joint team of Gazipur Metropolitan Police's Sadar Police Station and Railway Police launched a drive immediately after the attack. The attack occurred as a group tried to snatch suspects detained with drugs.

The joint team arrested the three suspects during drives on Thursday night. The arrestees are Shuvo, 20, Sanowar Hossain Hridoy, 23, and Yasin, 26. Police said CCTV footage confirmed their presence during the attack.

ATSI Nurul Islam, who suffered injuries in the attack, filed a case over the incident. Another case was filed with Dhaka Railway Police Station regarding the drug recovery.

Joynal Abedin, officer-in-charge of Dhaka Railway Police Station, said Gazipur Sadar Police handed over the three arrestees to the railway police. They will be sent to a court in Dhaka.

He added that two suspects detained earlier with drugs will also be shown arrested in both cases.

Police said investigations are ongoing to identify others involved in the attack.
