Nur Alam Ashek earlier said they were admitted at around 10:30pm last night and were in critical condition.
The injured were identified as La Kin Mong, 30, Keu Thin Sing, 29, Kin Mong Jue, 30 and Uo Pao, 48.
Meanwhile, Shariful Islam, public relations officer of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), said 229 BGP members had entered Bangladesh so far amid the ongoing clashes inside Myanmar. They entered through the Tumbru border of Bandarban's Naikhongchhari upazila with arms and ammunition.
"Four of the injured [Myanmar border guard members] were discovered in critical condition, prompting their transfer to CMCH on the recommendation of Cox's Bazar local hospital," Shariful Islam said.
"This decision was made to provide them with more advanced treatment, particularly due to excessive blood loss and out of humanitarian concern," he added.
"To ensure the safety of the injured Myanmar BGP personnel during their treatment, they will be under the guard of the BGB," Shariful Islam said.
As of yesterday (5 February), nine members of the Myanmar Border Guard Force (BGP) were receiving treatment at Cox's Bazar Sadar hospital under the supervision of the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB).
Two of them were admitted to the hospital with injuries on Sunday (4 February) night, while seven were brought in yesterday morning.
