Romeo Tripura, the boy who wounded in a gunfight between two armed ethnic minority groups in the remote hills of Baghaichari Upazila in Rangamati, has succumbed to his injuries. The 7-year-old died while receiving treatment in the port city on Tuesday, said Baghaichari Upazila executive officer Shireen Akter. Romeo was the son of Proben Tripura from Shialdahalui Mauza of Sajek Union in the Upazila. Later, Romeo was treated there for three months under the supervision of the Tripura Student Forum with support from the DC Office Rangamati, Khagrachhari Hill District Council and Khagrachhari Cantonment. “No one else should suffer the same fate as my child,” Proben said, urging authorities to stop armed groups in the hill region.
