Arun Chakma alias Hugujjya and two others, arrested from his house in the village of Dadkuppya on 27 February a day before his wedding troupe was to set out for the bride's house in Shugujjya para village , were handed over to the police on 29 February.

In earlier report (News No. 35) his name was wrongly mentioned as Rupanyan Chakma.

The army from Dadkuppya camp handed them a rickety gun before handing them over to the police. On 28 February, the Kiang-ghat Union Council chairman Mr. Bishwajit Chakma saw the army officers to secure their release. But his request was turned down.

The army personnel searched the house of Arun Chakma again at night and looted away two hand bags, two wrist watches, 28 packets of cigarette and two Burgis (hand-woven blankets) in addition to cash Tk. 8,000, gold ornaments and a coupon book for raising funds for a critically sick girl Elina Chakma which were taken away on the first mid-night search on 27 February.

The arrest was made one day before Arun Chakma's marriage with Kanak Baran Chakma's daughter Hasina Chakma.
