The deceased was identified as Syed Hossain, aka Kala Bodda, a resident and head majhi of Ukhiya's Kutupalong 2- east camp.

Deputy Inspector General of the Armed Police Battalion (APBn)Syed Harunur Rashid said, "Syed Hossain was shot dead when he came out of his house in the morning."

"Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) members might have shot him."
