Five Bangladeshi fishermen were reportedly taken away along with their trawler by Myanmar’s Arakan Army from the Naf River near Teknaf in Cox’s Bazar on Tuesday night. The incident occurred in the Naikhyangdia area, where the Naf River meets the Bay of Bengal, adjacent to Shah Porir Island. The detained fishermen were identified as residents of Jaliapara in Shah Porir Island, aged between 18 and 40.
Trawler owner Mohammad Ullah confirmed the incident, stating that his vessel was returning from a fishing trip near Saint Martin’s Island when it anchored at Naikhyangdia after nightfall. Shortly afterward, armed members of the Arakan Army reportedly arrived by speedboat and took the fishermen and trawler away. Families of the detained fishermen are said to be deeply anxious following the incident.
When contacted, Coast Guard officer Lt. Commander Rifat said he had no information about the matter but would look into it and take necessary action.
