Law enforcement authorities have detained a Rohingya man in connection with an abduction and ransom demand inside a refugee camp in Ukhiya, Cox’s Bazar. The incident occurred on Thursday, June 25, 2026, when Mohammad Ekram, a resident of Camp-19 Block B/3, allegedly lured fellow resident Jaber Hossain from Block A/3 under the pretext of fingerprinting for passport purposes and then abducted him. The abductors later demanded a ransom of 350,000 taka from the victim’s family. The family reported the matter to the Camp-19 police camp, prompting an immediate operation that led to Ekram’s arrest.
Authorities said Ekram is being transferred from the 8 Armed Police Battalion (APBn) Camp-19 to Ukhiya Police Station for further legal action. Police sources added that another Rohingya named Shariful and four to five unidentified individuals are suspected of involvement. The APBn commander stated that a special operation is underway to rescue the abducted man and apprehend the remaining suspects.
Law enforcement operations remain ongoing in the camp area as efforts continue to locate the victim and dismantle the trafficking network.
