Accident – Death – Obituary News :
A tragic incident unfolded at the Mochni Registered Rohingya Camp in Cox’s Bazar’s Teknaf, where a 48-year-old Rohingya man, Mohammad Alam, was shot dead over what is believed to be a power struggle. The incident took place at around 8:30am on Saturday morning, sending shockwaves through the refugee community.
According to Mohammad Osman Gani, the chief of Teknaf police, Alam was on his way to attend a local arbitration meeting when he was intercepted by a group of five to six men at the junction of the C, D, and E blocks within the camp. Witnesses reported that Alam was forcibly taken to a nearby school where he was held at gunpoint and shot at point-blank range.
“At this stage, we are unable to ascertain the identity of the perpetrators or the motive behind the heinous crime,” stated OC Gani. “However, preliminary investigations suggest that the murder may have stemmed from a power struggle within the camp.”
Law enforcement authorities have launched a rigorous operation to apprehend those responsible for the brutal killing, in a bid to deliver justice for the victim and his grieving family. The body of Mohammad Alam has been transferred to the Cox’s Bazar District Sadar Hospital morgue for a post-mortem examination to determine the exact cause of death.
Community in mourning
The senseless act of violence has left the Rohingya community in the refugee camp reeling from shock and grief. Mohammad Alam, a respected member of the E-Block within the camp, was known for his peaceful nature and commitment to resolving disputes through dialogue and mediation.
Local leaders and humanitarian organisations have condemned the incident, calling for unity and solidarity among the Rohingya population in the face of adversity. The tragic loss of Mohammad Alam has underscored the urgent need for improved security measures within the refugee camp to protect vulnerable individuals from harm.
Call for justice
As the investigation into the murder of Mohammad Alam progresses, there is a growing demand for swift and decisive action to bring the culprits to justice. The perpetrators must be held accountable for their actions and face the full force of the law to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
Authorities have assured the community that every effort will be made to ensure that justice is served and that the memory of Mohammad Alam is honoured through a fair and transparent legal process. The tragic loss of life serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing challenges faced by the Rohingya population in Cox’s Bazar and the critical need for sustainable solutions to promote peace and security within the refugee camps.
