Jubo Samity man of MN Larma faction shot dead
An armed gang early yesterday shot dead a member of Jubo Samity, front organisation of MN Larma faction Parbattya Chattagram Jana Sanghati Samity (PCJSS) at Purnachandra Karbari Para under Marung union of Dighinala upazila.
The deceased, identified as Shantimoni Chakma, 28, was son of Enanda Chakma of Jalbanda area in the union.
A gang numbering 6 to 8 opened fire on Shantimoni around 03:30am while sleeping at one of his relative's house at Purnachandra Karbari Para killing him on the spot, said officer in-charge of Dighinala police station Sahadat Hossain Titu.
Shantimoni might have been killed due to the factional feud in the regional political parties in the area, the OC said.
However, Jubo Samity leaders blamed the armed cadres of PCJSS Santu Larma faction for the killing.
“Armed cadres of Santu Larma faction has launched a killing mission to destroy our party and establish their supremacy in the area”, said Shamir Chakma, President of Jubo Samity, Dighinala upazila unit.
Contacted, Assistant Press and Information Secretary of PCJSS Santu Larma faction refuted the involvement of his party man with the killing.
Earlier, on March 26, 2013, assistant organising secretary of PCJSS MN Larma faction Dighinala upazila unit, Swapon Tripura, 45, was attacked at Babupara in the upazila while on 12 March, four members of the same party including its Rangamati unit organising secretary Sudirgha Chakma, 40, were shot dead allegedly by the Santu Larma faction at Madhyachhara village under Longadu upazila of Rangamati district.
