Two young men died following a clash involving intoxicated youths at the bar of Renaissance Hotel in Cox’s Bazar city’s Jhautala area at about 10:30pm on Thursday. Najibul Haque Rashed was declared dead after suffering a neck injury from a broken glass. Solaiman, also known as Salman, later died while being taken to Chattogram Medical College Hospital after a mob beating.
Police said Rashed and several others had been drinking when an argument and fight began, with some youths calling additional people to the scene. Sources said the initial argument involved a youth named Ansar, who called Radi and Salman. Witnesses said Rashed’s throat was cut by broken glass during the fight, while Salman was beaten by people below the hotel and handed to police.
Cox’s Bazar police and the district hospital’s resident medical officer confirmed both deaths. Additional Superintendent of Police Ahidul Islam said police had begun operations to detain those involved and said one person taken into custody had also died. He described the bar as unlicensed, while hotel manager Faizul Haque said it held a valid licence renewed until June 2027. Police also reported attacks and vandalism at homes of people linked to the incident.
