At least four people were reportedly killed in a gunfight between two armed groups at Jora Sindhu Karbaripara under Dighinala upazila of Khagrachari district on Friday night.
Confirming the gunfight, Dighinala police officer-in-charge Md Zakaria told New Age on Saturday afternoon that the gunfight took place between United People’s Democratic Front and Parbatya Chattagram Jana Samhati Samiti for hours since 8:00pm on Friday.
‘From multiple people we have heard that four people were killed. The place is extremely remote and we cannot send forces to check due to highly remote areas,’ the OC said.
The police officer said that they could not even confirm identities of the deceased as they were yet to receive bodies.
The UPDF, however, in a statement on Saturday said that the news of four UPDF memberss killed in gunfight between UPDF and JSS was ‘completely false’.
In the statement, UPDF spokesperson Ongyo Marma said that the party did not know about any gunfight incident, which was published in media.
‘UPDF did not engage in war with anybody and no UPDF member was killed,’ he said. PCJSS central member Dipayan Khisa said that he was unaware about such gunfight.
According to local people, at least six hours of gunfight took place starting from Friday night between the followers of UPDF led by Prasit Khisa and PCJSS led by Jyotirindra Bodhipriya Larma, widely known as Santu Larma, over establishing supremacy in the area, New Age correspondent in Khagrachari reported.
Witnesses said that panic sparked among the local people after explosion of grenades. They said that grenade explosion was rare in such clashes.
