A Rohingya man was beaten to death on May 2 in Leda Camp, also known as Camp 26, in Teknaf following a reported clash between armed groups in the area, according to police and local sources.
The incident took place around 7:00 PM. The victim, Nur Hasan, 32, was a resident of Block C-2 in the camp.
Police said the victim had previously been accused in several criminal cases, including murder and robbery. However, local sources said he was attacked after being caught by a group of people while moving through a nearby hilly area shortly after clashes between armed Rohingya groups earlier in the day.
He was initially taken to a health facility inside the camp and later transferred to Teknaf Upazila Health Complex, where he was declared dead at around 9:30 PM.
Authorities said the body has been sent for post-mortem examination and that legal action is underway. Police also reported increased patrols in the area following the incident.
Killings following armed group activity and informal enforcement have been repeatedly reported in Rohingya camps, raising concerns over security, fragmented authority, and the limited protection available to residents.
