Besides, the statements of police are similar in most of the case. As a result, confusion is created in people's mind different times.
But has the news media of the country to believe such statements of police in words? How can they cover such incidents of alleged 'gunfight'.
About the incident in Khulna, the officer-in-charge of Sadar Police Station Mizanur Rahman said, a team of police numbering 15-20 went to the operation with arrested person with a view to recovering arms and capturing his accomplices.
Police claimed, when they reached Prabhati School area, they came under attack triggering a gunfight. They retaliated and two men sustained bullet injuries in the 'gunfight'.
