Teen 'abducted' in Teknaf, farmer shot while escaping captors

A group of armed Rohingya have allegedly kidnapped a teenage boy for ransom in Cox's Bazar's Teknaf and gunned down a farmer when he tried to escape the captors, according to locals, reports bdnews24.com.
The incident occurred around 10:00 am on Friday in the hilly Borodail area, said Nurul Islam, member of the upazila council ward.
The abducted teen, 16-year-old Abdur Rahman, and farmer Mohammad Sharif are both natives of Borodail.
They went to work in a betel leaf farm in the morning when a group of armed Rohingya assailants emerged from the forest and swooped on them, the UP member said.
"The goons took Rahman as a hostage and shot Sharif when he tried to escape. They later took Rahman with them."
Locals found a wounded Sharif and took him to the Cox's Bazar Sadar Hospital. He is currently receiving treatment in critical condition, the doctors said.
Informed of the matter, police personnel rushed to the scene of the crime, said Inspector Nur Mohammed of Teknaf Baharchhora Police Investigation Centre.
