Police have arrested fugitive gunman Faruk from a hilly area in Chakaria, Cox’s Bazar, four days after a violent clash between two rival groups in Chattogram’s Bakalia area left a 13-year-old boy and four others injured. The arrest was announced at a press conference at the CMP headquarters in Dampara on Thursday afternoon by Additional Commissioner (Crime and Operations) Muhammad Faisal Ahmed.
According to police, the confrontation occurred last Saturday night near Moydar Mill School field when the Morshed Khan and Shawkat groups clashed over local dominance, using pistols, shotguns, and other weapons. During the shooting, passerby Fahim was hit in both thighs. Police arrested four suspects at the scene and later recovered a homemade shotgun from Faruk’s rented house. Separate cases were filed over the shooting and illegal weapons.
Authorities said Faruk was captured on April 8 through intelligence surveillance. He is now under interrogation, and legal proceedings are underway. The injured, including Fahim, remain hospitalized at Chattogram Medical College Hospital.
