These BDR troopers agreed to release all hostages held inside the Bangladesh Rifles headquarters in Dhaka later on .TheBangaldesh government and the rebels reached an agreement after the country's Home Minister Mr. Shahara Khatun went inside the headquarters, unarmed, for the second time in the 24 hours, to negotiate a full surrender without the army stepping inside.
Then after that the rebels surrendered their arms, hoisted white flags, allowed police vehicles to enter and the armed police to take charge of the armoury present there.
