The deceased was identified as Lakshi Chandra Chakma, a resident of Sublang area of Barkal upazila.

According to local sources, armed members of JSS (original) terrorist group shot Lakshi Chandra Chakma dead at his house in Shilchhari (Ukhchhari) area of Subalang union of Barkal upazila on Wednesday night.

Lakshi Chandra Chakma was in the past a member of the UPDF (Democratic), an armed terrorist organization in the hill tracts.
