However, members of the law enforcement agencies are on alert.Additional Superintendent of Police Kamran of the 8th Armed Police Battalion (ABPN) stationed at the Ukhia Kutupalong Rohingya Refugee Camp said that Rohingya leader and Master Muhibullah (50) was arrested at FDMN Camp-1 East, Block-D, 6 on Wednesday night (after Ashar prayers).  He was at the headquarters of the Arakan Rohingya Society for Peace and Human Rights (ARSPH).

He was shot at random by unidentified Rohingya terrorists in that office.

The gunmen fired five rounds at him.  Three rounds of ammunition hit Muhibullah in the chest.  The seriously injured Muhibullah was rescued and rushed to Kutupalong MSF Holland Hospital where the on-duty doctor declared him dead.  Muhibullah’s body was quickly handed over to Ukhiya police station, he said.His autopsy was completed at the Cox’s Bazar District Sadar Hospital morgue on Wednesday afternoon.  Ukhiya police later handed over his body to his family members.

Muhibullah was the chairman of the Arakan Rohingya Society for Peace and Human Rights (ARSPH).The ARSPH, which has emerged as a keynote speaker for the at least 11 lakh Rohingya stranded in Cox’s Bazar, has been instrumental in the Rohingya repatriation process.

When the Rohingyas fled Myanmar in 2017 and took refuge in Bangladesh, the local residents and the government showed a generous attitude towards them.  But over the years, things have changed.  Not a drop of that sympathy is left now.

According to the police and RAB, the Rohingya groups hid in the deep mountains inside the camp after committing various crimes.

Law enforcement officials say various armed groups of Rohingya have been active in the camps since the evening.Officials say the operation will be intensified to keep the situation under control.
