The dead were identified as Abdul Hashim, 30, and Mohammed Ayub, 28, both residents of the refugee camp in Ukhia's Kutupalong. Tipped off about the arrival of a consignment of yaba tablets, the RAB set up a checkpoint in the area, said ASP Alam. Two people were shot in the gunfight and were subsequently rushed to Teknaf Upazila Health Complex where doctors declared them dead." The RAB recovered 10,000 yaba tablets, two guns and five bullets from the spot, according to ASP Alam.
