Several firefighting units have been dispatched to the factory in the Bayezid Textile area
They came under attack after they had raided the Paharhtoli area in Barha Moheshkhali union following a tip-off on Sunday evening, Moheshkhali Police Station OC Pradip Kumar Das said.
“Police retaliated when the miscreants opened fire. The suspects backed away but only one of them was detained,” he said.
The law enforcers then found the factory following information given by the detainee, Mohammad Ishaq, the OC said.
They seized 10 guns, some ammunition and machinery used for making weapons, he added.
He also said they were taking legal action against Ishaq.
