Three innocent Jumma villagers were tortured during an army raid in the village of Karallyachari under Kiang-ghat Union in Khagrachari district on 7 March.
The raid was conducted by a group of army personnel from Kiang-ghat camp at around 8:30 p.m. The soldiers surrounded some of the houses in the village, forced the inmates out and gathered them at the precinct of Nabarun Sangha Club.
The army then interrogated them about Bikash Chakma, suspected to be a member of the United People's Democratic Front (UPDF), a party of the Jumma people which has vowed to carry on the struggle of the Jumma people for right to self-determination through peaceful and democratic means.
When the Jumma villagers said they did not know any one with that name, the soldiers became furious and beat Anta Lal Chakma (35) s/o Bir Sen Chakma, Tapanya Chakma (18) s/o Prakhar Chandra Chakma and Tara Kumar Chakma (42).

- The Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) region comprises three districts: Banderban , Khagrachari and Rangamati. The districts comprise seven main valleys formed by the Feni, Karnafuli, Chengi, Myani, Kassalong, Sangu and Matamuhuri rivers aid their tributaries and numerous hills, ravines and cliffs covered with dense vegetation, which are in complete contrast to most other districts of Bangladesh, which consist mainly of alluvial lands. Geographically the CHT can be divided into two broad ecological zones: (a) hill valley, (b) agricultural plains. It is surrounded by the Indian states of Tripura on the north and Mizoram on the east, Myanmar on the south and east and Chittagong district on the west.
