Four people, including a child, were reportedly abducted from a shop near the hills adjacent to the Baharchhara South Shilkhali BGB checkpoint in Teknaf, Cox’s Bazar, on Sunday evening. Witnesses said a group of 20–25 armed men descended from the hills around 7:30 p.m. and forced the victims away at gunpoint. The abducted individuals were identified as Mamun Zia’s son Achiur Rahman (20), Mohammad Islam’s son Giyas Uddin (17), Kasim Baidya’s son Putikkya (13), and Hasan’s son Abu Siddiq (10). Locals attempted to rescue them after news of the abduction spread. Shah Imran Khan, a resident of Shilkhali, confirmed the incident. However, police said that no formal complaint had yet been filed by the victims’ families. Baharchhara police outpost in-charge Durjoy Biswas stated that officers visited the scene and are investigating whether it was a kidnapping or another issue.
