A group of about 20 army personnel led by a Major and a Subedar from Lulongchari camp (No. 10) in Jurachari under Rangamati district on 4 February raided the house of Binoy Chakma (26) s/o Ramani Mohan Chakma in the village of West Balukhali.

The overnight search was believed to have been conducted to arrest Binoy Chakma, a member of the United People's Democratic Front. However, he was not at home at the time.

The soldiers searched the house frantically, apparently for firearms, but they found none and nothing incriminating.

West Balukhali is a remote hamlet in Rangamati district lying 25km south-east of Jurachari sub-district headquarters and their house is merely about half-kilometer from Lulangchari camp.
