A Rohingya man was shot dead at a refugee camp in Ukhiya upazila of Cox’s Bazar this afternoon.
The deceased was identified as Mohammad Kamal, 40, son of Musa Ahmed, from Camp-8 East in the Balukhali Panbazar area of Ukhiya. Kamal was a community leader of the same camp.
Riaz Uddin Ahmed, acting commander of Armed Police Battalion (APBn)-8, said the incident took place around 2:30pm at Camp-8.
Kamal was the younger brother of Nabi Hossain, leader of the Arakan Rohingya Army (ARA), also known as the Nabi Hossain group, Riaz said.
Ayub Hossain, a cousin of Kamal, alleged that 12 to 13 members of the Rohingya Solidarity Organisation (RSO) opened fire on Kamal after he went to a bazaar area following Zuhr prayers at a mosque.
Riaz Uddin Ahmed said Kamal was rescued with bullet injuries and taken to a local hospital before being shifted to Cox’s Bazar Sadar Hospital, where he was declared dead.
He was shot in the head and chest, the police official said, adding that law enforcement has intensified patrols in the area and the situation is now under control.
Nayek Saiful Islam, in-charge of the hospital police outpost, said Kamal was brought to the hospital with bullet injuries and later declared dead. The body has been sent to the morgue for autopsy.
The killing occurred within 24 hours of the murder of Rohingya armed group suspected commander Kefayet Ullah Halim of Arakan Rohingya Organisation (ARO), who was killed in a gun attack at the Balukhali refugee camp in Cox’s Bazar’s Ukhiya on Tuesday evening.
