 A company of the 5th Brigade under codename "Rakoczy" decided to destroy the police station and to execute several Nazi-Lithuanian informants.There are different versions as to who led the raid on Dubingiai; most sources attribute it to Szendzielarz, the commander of the 5th Brigade, while Henryk Piskunowicz, Polish historian and author of several publications about Armia Krajowa operations in Vilnius Region, specifically pointed to Wiącek.The AK headquarters learnt of that initiative and was afraid that the soldiers of the 5th Brigade who had freshly witnessed the aftermath of Glinciszki may not follow the orders forbidding actions against civilians.
