A leader of Parbattya Chattagram Jana Sanghati Samity (PCJSS) was shot by an armed gang at Balukhali union on Sunday night. Police and locals said an armed gang of 15 led by Tito Chakma and Biro Chakma, encircled the house of Chironjit Chakma. The gang was looking for Aungsu Moni Chakma and Asheen Chakma -- local PCJSS leader and former Pahari Chhatra Parishad (PCP) leader there. The armed men opened fire when both of them were fleeing sensing the presence of their rivals. Asheen was unhurt but Aungsu Moni Chakma received severe bullet injuries. Md Humayun, officer in-charge of Kotwali police confirmed the incident. He, however, said no case was filed in this connection.
