Two Rohingyas were shot dead in separate attacks by unidentified armed groups at Ukhiya camp in Cox’s Bazar early Monday.

The deceased were identified as Ahammed Hossain, 36, resident of camp no 7 and Sana Ullah, 27, resident of camp no 2.

The incidents took place between 3am to 4am, said Sheikh Mohammad Ali, officer-in-charge (OC) of Ukhiya police station.

Ahammed Hossain was gunned down by some armed miscreants in camp no 7.

Sana Ullah was shot when 20-30 unidentified members of armed groups opened fire in camp no 2.

Police suspected that the incidents happened due to rivalry over establishing supremacy in the refugee camp.

The bodies were sent to Cox's Bazar Sadar Hospital for autopsy, said the OC.
