Police in Ramu, Cox’s Bazar, have arrested brick kiln owner Shafiul Azam, also known as BK Azam, for allegedly brandishing a firearm and threatening staff at a petrol pump near the Morichya BGB checkpoint. The arrest took place late Wednesday night following reports of the incident, which occurred on Tuesday when Azam allegedly raised a shotgun and caused a disturbance at the pump.
According to the petrol pump manager, Nurul Haque, Azam demanded fuel beyond his allocated quota. When Haque refused to supply extra fuel outside the government’s rationing system, Azam reportedly threatened him with the shotgun and created chaos at the site. The manager later filed a written complaint with the local police station.
Ramu Police Station Officer-in-Charge Monirul Islam Bhuiyan stated that authorities took the matter seriously after it was reported in the media and have initiated legal action. Police have also seized Azam’s licensed shotgun as part of the investigation.
