There was a long-standing conflict between two opposing parties over possession of a house in the city’s posh diplomatic zone Gulshan.
Taking this advantage, someone on Tuesday rang to local police station and informed that the house was militant’s den.
Police instantly conducted a raid, but the result was zero. They found nothing in connection with militancy.
The law enforcers, however, detained two persons from the spot. Local sources said the occurrence took place in House No-2 on Road No-13 at Gulshan-1. “There has been a conflict of ownership regarding the two-storey building located just by the Gulshan Lake. Someone anonymous had informed police that the building housed militants. So, the law enforcers launched the drive,” Officer-in-Charge of Gulshan Police Station Sirajul Islam said.
Earlier in the noon, a team of Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha [RAJUK] began an eviction drive against commercial establishments in the area. During the drive, the magistrate along with the team tried to enter the house, but the security guard refused to let them in. Suspicion grew among the officials seeing high boundary walls and three watch towers on the premises with CCTV cameras. After a few moments, the guard opened the gate and police saw some youths on the roof who tried to hide seeing the law enforcers, which prompted police to raid the building. On-duty Special Branch officers were immediately informed and a large number of police personnel were mobilised. They kept the premises cordoned off for around an hour. OC Gulshan Sirajul Islam forcefully entered the premises and conducted the drive at around 2:50pm. However, they found nothing related to militancy there. “Police knew about the conflict of ownership and that the house was not a militant den.
