Rohingya Camp Leader Stabbed to Death in Cox’s Bazar

A Rohingya leader of the Balukhali camp under Ukhiya Upazila in Cox’s Bazar was stabbed to death allegedly over establishing dominance in the camp, the Armed Police Battalion said on Friday, reports UNB. 

The deceased is Md Azimuddin,48, son of Kamal Uddin, and head of block L/16 of Camp-18, said Kamran Hossain, additional superintendent of APBn-8.

At about 8:00 pm on Thursday, some Rohingyas from Camp-20 stealthily attacked the leaders responsible for guarding M/9 sub block of block B in Camp-18, he said. ‘They attacked to create dominance over the camp.’

During the attack, two more Rohingyas named Syed Karim, 40, and Rahimulla, 36, were hurt, said additional SP Kamran. ‘APBn-8 is conducting raids to detain the attackers,’ he added.
