Chakma, Priti Chakma (35), son of Bhagabanya Chakma, Ripon Chakma (32),

The United People’s Democratic Front (UPDF) in a statement has called
for an end to harassment of innocent people in the name of searches.
Kalo Prio Chakma, organizer of UPDF Khagrachari district unit, said
torture and harassment of innocent villagers had began after a BGB
officer was wounded in an armed attack by Santu group on 8 March.
He said the BGB men tortured Padma Lal Chakma, a 29-year old villager
from Dojorpara, when he failed to provide information about the
whereabouts of the “terrorists”.
Mr Chakma urged the government to arrest the armed gangs belonging to
Santu Larma instead of harassing innocent people.
