 [Bangla Daily Star] An armed cadre of Pahari Chhatra Parishad (PCP), student front of Parbattya Chattagram Jana Sanghati Samity (PCJSS), was shot dead during a gunfight with security personnel at Suvalong Bazar yesterday morning. The deceased was identified as Jagadish Chakma alias Tarun Chakma, 30, son of Gunadhar Chakma of village Moitri Nagar in the town.
| Thirty years old and still a student? A bit slow, perhaps? |
Locals and security personnel sources said a dozen of armed PCP activists led by Tarun Chakma went to Suvalong Bazar, 30 kms off the district town, to attack the local office of United Peoples' Democratic Front (UPDF), an anti-peace treaty organisation.
| Anti-peace treaty? Who is treating with whom? |
Being informed by UPDF activists, army from local camps challenged the PCP men when the armed cadres reached Suvalong Bazar at about 11:00am.
At one stage, the PCP activists started fleeing the scene by firing gunshots at army. The security men also retaliated by firing bullets, leaving Tarun dead on the spot.
| Shooting at an army, unless one is another army, strikes me as a good way to get killed. |
Army personnel arrested PCP activist Elen Chakma from the spot while other PCP men managed to escape during the gunfight. No case was filed till 5:30pm yesterday. |
