Their raid on the one-storey house at Trimohani village ended on Thursday evening.
Codenamed Eagle Hunt, the two-day operation ended with the death of four suspects, who police said, died in blasts caused by their own explosives.
"The bomb disposal team has finished its work. A vest and a firearm have been found," said District Superintendent of Police Mujahidul Islam. He did not say what kind of firearm it was.
One among them was identified as Rafikul Alam Abu, 30, who lived in the house with his wife Sumaiya and two daughters. The others' identities are still not known.
Sumaiya and one of their daughters were brought out of the house around noon on Thursday.
Sumaiya, shot in her knees during the raid, has been admitted at Rajshahi Medical College Hospital amid high security.
Doctors will operate on her wound on Friday, said RMCH Director Brig Gen Rafikul Islam.
