3 shot dead in Rangamati

Our Correspondent, Rangamati
Three people, including two leaders of the Parbatya Chattagram Jana Sanghati Samity (PCJSS - Shantu Larma), were shot dead at Baghaichhari in Rangamati yesterday.
The deceased are PCJSS Baghaichhari upazila president Shasanka Mitra Chakma alias Priti, organising secretary Nanda Kumar Chakma, and a local resident Judishtthir Chakma.
Md Rafique Ullah, officer-in-charge of Baghaichhari Police Station, said a gang of criminals numbering 10 to 12 had opened fire on the PCJSS leaders when they were having tea at a tea stall in Sijok Bazar of the upazila, about 130 kilometres off the district headquarters, at around 7:30am, leaving them dead on the spot.
Judishtthir was gunned down when he tried to flee the scene, the OC said, adding that the gunmen had suspected him to be a PCJSS member.
Sajib Chakma, central assistant information secretary of the PCJSS Shantu Larma faction, said, "The armed cadres of

United People's Democratic Front (I JPDF) and the PCJSS MN Larma faction killed our leaders."
Brushing aside the allegation, UPDF press secretary' Sona Moni Chakma said the killing was the result of a feud between Shantu Larma and MN Larma factions of the PCJSS.
The bodies were handed over to the relatives after autopsies at Rangamati General Hospital.
Meanwhile, leaders and activists of Shantu
Larma faction brought out a procession in the district town and held a rally at New Court Building protesting the killings at noon.
The organisation's district unit president Gunendu Bikash Chakma presided over the meeting.
They demanded the arrest of the culprits and proper compensation for the victims' families.
They also blamed the government for failing to implement the peace agreement.
The organisation's central leader Sajib Chakma, district secretary Nilotpal Khisa, and Pahari Chhatra Parishad (PGP) district president Bachchu Chakma, among others, spoke at the programme.
Since the peace agreement was signed between the Bangladesh government and Shantu Larma-led PCJSS on December 2, 1997 to end an armed conflict in the Chittagong Hill Tracts, more than 582 people of the three groups have so far been killed.
