AN
innocent villager has been kidnapped at gunpoint by Santu Larma loyalists in
Subolong under Borkal Upazila in Rangamati district, sources have said.
Kolindu
Chakma, 38, son of Horiram Chakma was snatched from his home in the village
of Panchari Mono Adam at 12 noon today.
He
was having his midday meals when a
group of armed men led by Jongi, a Santu group commander, surrounded his house
and took him away.
‘We
don’t know exactly why he has been kidnapped. It may be that the Santu men
suspected him to be a supporter of the UPDF.’ a villager told chtnews.com on condition that his
named will not be mentioned.
Sachal
Chakma, an organiser of the UPDF’s Rangamati district unit, in a statement
condemned the kidnapping of Kolindu Chakma and demanded his immediate release.
Accusing
Santu Larma of being a government collaborator (locally known as Dalal) the
UPDF leader said, ‘Instead of launching a movement for full implementation of
the CHT accord, the Santu group has kept alive the fratricidal conflict which
has claimed hundreds of lives of the members and supporters of the UPDF.’
He
urged people to resist terrorist activities of the Santu group.
