The encounter took place when the PBCP leader tried to flee from RAB and police custody with help of his cohorts during arms recovery operation.

Aminul Islam was taken to the RAB-7 headquarter shortly after his arrest for questioning. At a stage of questioning Amin informed the RAB men that all of his arms and ammunition were under the possession of his followers who had been staying at Banshkhalia Para. Later, the RAB men along with Amin went out in search of arms and ammunition.
And guess what happened next?
They conducted several raids at that area following Amin's information. But when the RAB men reached near Muhuri Para area at about 03:00 a.m. a group of gunmen opened fire at the RAB men. At a stage, Amin wanted to flee away from the RAB custody and caught into crossfire and sustained bullet wounds.
