News No. 77/2008, May 8, 2008
Jurachari Army camp commander, warrant officer Md. Nizam arrested two Jummas on 7 March 2008 on allegations of providing support to the UPDF.
The arrestees are Tarun Bikash Chakma (36) son of Ananda Hridoy Chakma and Surjojit Chakma (38) of village T & T area.
Sources said a group of army personnel led by Nizam surrounded their house at around 9.00pm on that day. At that time they were in sleep. The soldiers woke them up and then took them to the army camp. They were kept in confinement in the camp for more than 19 hours and were subjected to physical torture.
The army accused Tarun and Surjojit of helping UPDF.
After rigorous interrogation Surjojit Chakma was set free, while Tarun Bikash Chakma was sent to jail after implicating him with a false extortion case. Tarun Bikash Chakma's arrest put his wife Sona Chakma in a helpless situation. She works at Jurachari Hospital as a sweeper.

- 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.
