Two Coast Guard men hurt in Rohingya attack


Cox's Bazar, Feb 15 (UNB): Two members of Bangladesh Coast Guard suffered injuries in an attack by Rohingya men at Noyapara Rohingya camp in Teknaf Upazila on Wednesday evening.
The injured were identified as Md Faruk (30), and Md Joynal (28).
Tipped off that Yaba tablets were being sold, a team of plainclothes Coast Guard went to the room of Sadek at block-H of the camp to arrest the drug traders, said Lt Commander Faizul Islam, commanding officer of Coast Guard's Teknaf station.
Noticing their presence, the Rohingya men swooped on the Coast Guard men and stabbed them, leaving two of them injured.
The injured were first taken to the Upazila Health Complex and later shifted to Cox's Bazar Sadar Hospital.
A deep injury mark was found in the chest of one of the injured while one ear of the other was almost severed, said duty doctor Shovan Das at the hospital.
