A series of brutal killings in Chattogram has triggered widespread fear and raised serious concerns about the region’s deteriorating law and order. Recent incidents include the daylight shooting of a Jubo Dal leader in Raozan and the nighttime murder of a mother and daughter in Anwara. Attackers have been seen moving openly with heavy weapons, and even police camps have come under assault. The violence is reportedly linked to disputes over control of illegal businesses involving sand, soil, and drugs.

Police sources said that in the past 18 months, more than 50 murders have occurred across Chattogram district and city, including 25 in Raozan alone, most of them politically motivated. CCTV footage of several killings has circulated on social media, revealing the identities of suspects who remain at large. The police have identified those involved in the latest incidents but cited difficulties in arresting them due to their escape into remote hilly areas.

District police officials stated that the perpetrators have been surrounded and that a major operation is being planned to restore order soon.
