Fisherman Mohammad Hakim, who witnessed the incident, said: “We three, including Amin, went to fish on the Moulvibazar Point of the Naf River in the morning. At that time, seven BGP members drove a patrol boat into Bangladesh territory. They opened fire on us, leaving two injured. “Later, with the help of other fishermen, we rushed the duo to Teknaf Health Complex where the doctor declared Amin dead.” Hospital’s Medical Officer Dr Suban Das said: “Amin died due to excessive bleeding and another fisherman was sent to Cox’s Bazar Sadar Hospital as his condition deteriorated.” Teknaf OC Abdul Majid said he was informed about the matter. “I sent a police team to Teknaf hospital after the BGB commander informed me about the shooting incident,” he said.
