A Rohingya man was shot dead by miscreants at a camp in Ukhiya upazila of Cox's Bazar, allegedly over establishing dominance.
The deceased has been identified as Maruf alias Hafez Mahbub, 27, a resident of Camp no 19.
The incident took place at Balukhali camp 12, block G, at around 7pm on Saturday.
Quoting locals, Ukhiya police station OC Sheikh Md Ali said Mahbub was having a chat with the residents of Camp no 12 on Saturday, when some five to seven masked miscreants abducted him.
“After taking him, they shot him twice in the chest. After receiving information, members of APBn went to the spot, but the miscreants had already left by then,” the OC said.
The officer said Mahbub was pronounced dead after he was taken to Ukhiya Upazila Health Complex.
“Mahbub used to oppose crimes in the Rohingya refugee camp and help the local administration with information. Initially, it is suspected he is killed over establishing dominance in the Rohingya camp. After the investigation of the murder, it will be possible to tell the real reason behind it.” the OC added.
