The dead man has been identified as 30-year-old Khorshed Alam.A team of detectives occupied the Joarianala Rubber Bagan area after being notified about the arrival of a consignment of yaba tablets there, according to OC Barua.
“At one point, about three people on a motorcycle were seen emerging from the direction of Naikhongchhari and the police motioned for them to stop, he said.
“The men did not listen and instead opened fire on the police, forcing the law enforcers to retaliate. At this time, one of the assailants got shot while the rest managed to flee,” he added.
Police rushed the wounded man to Cox’s Bazar Sadar Hospital where the on-duty doctor declared him dead.
