Assailants gunned down an activist of United People’s Democratic Front at Talukderpara of Baghaichhari in Rangamati on Sunday morning.
The UPDF blamed its rival Parbattya Chattagram Jana Sanghati Samity for the killing. But PCJSS denied the accusation outright.
Police and local people said an armed group of four to five people swooped on a tea stall at Talukdarpra where Mohanlal Chakma was having tea with two other UPDF activists at around 9am and opened fire on them.
Mohanlal, son of Rangachan Chakma of village Ugalchhari, died on the spot but the other two managed to escape.
Police said the attackers left the scene immediately after their operation.
Rangamati district UPDF organiser Alakesh Chakma alleged the goons of PCJSS made the attack and killed Mohanlal.
The PCJSS assistant publicity secretary Sajib Chakma claimed the party was not involved in the shootout as it has no organisational activities in that particular area. ‘That area is dominated by UPDF and some people who left us,’ he said.
Banghaichhari police officer-in-charge Naimuddin said they had recovered the body of Mohanlal and sent it for autopsy. He could not confirm Mohanlal’s identity.
Meanwhile, members of Border Guard Bangladesh cordoned off the area and conducted a search to find out the assailants.
