THE ARMY conducted searches in five houses in the village of Toichakma under Ramgarh Upazila in Khagrachari district, according to sources from chtnews.com.
The searches were carried out by a group of army soldiers from Sindukchari zone in the wee hours of 27 May.
The army personnel first surrounded the houses and then woke the villagers up.
They
then searched the houses of Nandibala Tripura, wife of late Laxmi Kumar
Tripura; Forai Tripura, son of unknown, Laiti Tripura, wife of late Nir
Chandra Tripura; Prohor Laxmi Tripura, wife of late Dant Kumar Tripura
and Pancha Joy Tripura, son of Naba Kumar Tripura, but found nothing
incriminating.
The soldiers turned everything upside down in the houses, and misbehaved with Nandibala Tripura, one of the victims said.
The
army personnel also interrogated the villagers as to whether any ‘armed
terrorists’ had come to their village and whether they knew where the
‘terrorists’ live.
Local UPDF leaders say they believe the searches aimed at terrorizing and intimidating the Jumma people in the area.
“The army wants to make people to live in constant fear so that they don’t dare stand up against injustices.’ he added.
