The incident occurred in the early hours of Friday on the hills behind the Leda Rohingya Camp in the upazila’s Hnila Union, said Teknaf Police OC Pradeep Kumar Saha. The dead were identified as Shamsu Alam, 35, of Ukhia's Thaingkhali Camp No 14, Nur Alam, 21, of the same camp, and Mohammed Habib, 20, of Teknaf's Leda Camp. They were all members of an organised kidnapping racket that had abducted a three-year-old child from the Leda Camp a few days ago, according to the police. "The kidnappers opened fire as soon as the police reached the scene, forcing a retaliation from the law enforcers." They were rushed to the Teknaf Health Complex, where the on-duty doctor declared them dead, said OC Pradeep.
