A youth wing activist of the opposition party was shot dead by unidentified assailants in Raozan, Chattogram, on Wednesday evening. The victim, Mujibur Rahman, 50, was a resident of East Gujra Union’s Ward 4 and a follower of newly elected MP Gias Uddin Quader Chowdhury. The shooting occurred around 6:30 p.m. inside a fruit shop at Olimiahat Bazar, where Mujibur was chatting before iftar. Witnesses said several attackers fired at him and fled immediately.

According to family members, Mujibur left home before iftar and was later found dead with three bullet wounds. His brother Abdul Aziz said he had an argument with some youths earlier that evening, which may have led to the attack. A medical officer at Raozan Upazila Health Complex confirmed that Mujibur died before reaching the hospital due to excessive bleeding.

Police have cordoned off the area and are working to identify and arrest the perpetrators. Local tension remains high following the killing.
