UNB, Khagrachhari
Gunmen shot dead a local leader of Parbatya Chattagram Jana Sanghati Samity (PCJSS) at Manikya Karbaripara in Panchhari upazila on Thursday night.
Police and witnesses said the assailants stormed into the house of Pancha Kumar Chakma alias Kiron Chakma at about 9:45pm and shot him in the throat point blank. Kiron died on the spot.
Hearing gunshots, police and security personnel rushed to the spot, but could not nab any of the killers.
Kiron was a captain of the now defunct insurgent group, Shantibahini, the armed wing of the PCJSS. He laid down his arms during general amnesty in 1998, when the guerilla group was disbanded following the CHT peace accord.
He was killed reportedly within 48 hours of United People's Democratic Front (UPDF) announcement of reprisals for the killing of one of its leaders at Babuchhara on Wednesday.
The PCJSS blamed the UPDF for the killing.
Angry PCJSS supporters yesterday put up barricades at different points on Panchhari-Khagrachhari road, disrupting traffic from dawn to dusk.
Meanwhile, as a sequel to growing feuds between the two rival groups, armed activists of the PCJSS and the UPDF clashed at Sindukchhari in Mohalchhari upazila early yesterday.
The two sides traded about 200 gunshots during the clash. However, there were
no reports of casualty.
