The officers sustained injuries to multiple parts of their bodies during the assault.

Following the incident, the injured personnel were rescued and first taken to Narayanganj General Hospital (Victoria General Hospital). Due to the severity of injuries sustained by one of the officers, Sub-Inspector Nazibul, he was subsequently transferred to Dhaka Medical College Hospital for advanced treatment.
