The father fell in front of the boy and started fighting off the Rakhine men. The miscreants responded by firing at Foyez who was hit in the shoulder fortunately missing the heart.

The gunshot attracted the attention of Rohingya villagers who rushed to the spot. The outnumbered terrorists fled the scene.
