The army last night arrested a supporter of the United People’s Democratic Front (UPDF) in Kaokhali of Rangamati district.
Soldiers from Kaokhali army camp raided the house of Atushi Marma (38 years) in the village of Bot-toli in the small hours and took him away. Bot-toli is approximately 7 miles north of Kaokhali town.
Mr. Marma is the president of pro-UPDF Bot-toli Village Committee and provides active support to the members of the party.
The army claims that a home-made gun has been found during a search in the hen house of Mr. Atushi Marma, but his family members denied this, saying it “was a pure lie”.
