Motorcyclist shot dead in Rangamati
Criminals shot an indigenous man dead in Rangamati’s Kaptai upazila on Wednesday afternoon.
The deceased Basi Mong Marma, 30, of remote Gobachhari area in the upazila, used to transport people on motorcycle as a profession, police said.
While Basi was transporting a former Parbatya Chattogram Jono Sanghati Samiti (PCJSS) member Kya Ching Mong Marma around 3:00pm, some 10 people suddenly came in front of his vehicle, said police quoting the passenger.
Being bullet-hit, Basi died on the spot while Kya Ching managed to flee, said Md Sufi-Ullah, assistant superintendent of police in Rangamati.
The criminals most likely have targeted the former PCJSS member, he said.
Contacted, Kya Ching admitted that he was being threatened by some people for a long time. He, however, refused to make any further comment.
Raikhali union parishad Chairman Mohammad Anamul Haque, said Kya Ching left PCJSS just before the last parliament election. The attack might have taken place due to some political rivalry.
No case was filed regarding this till the filing of the report at 9:45pm.
