SINDUKCHAR zone
commander, Lt. Col. Fazle Rabbi, is alleged to have threatened an elected
member of Patachara Union Council in Ramgarh, Khagrachari district over robbery
incidents in the area.
According to sources,
Rabbi called Manendra Chakma, a representative of Ward No. 4 to Patachara Union
Council, to the zone headquarters at 3pm on Saturday, 2 January.
When Manendra appeared
at the camp, the commander kept him waiting for two hours, and when he came, he
threatened him over the recent robbery incidents on Ramgarh – Khagrachari road,
saying ‘Correct yourself when there is enough time, or else I will do my own
duty.’
When Manendra tried to
clarify his position, the commander retorted: ‘I called you to tell you
something, not to hear anything from you.’
Rabbi misbehaved with
him and further threatened him, saying, ‘if robbery incidents are not stopped,
you will face the music.’
Manendra, after
returning from the zone headquarters in the evening, told chtnews.com that
he did not know who were behind the robbery incidents.
‘I don’t understand
why the commander is threatening me instead of taking actions against those
committing the crimes’ he said, adding that following the commander’s threat he
was fearing for his personal safety.
According to local
people, there has been an increase in robbery incidents at Tholipara Dosh Mile
area on Khagrachari – Ramgarh road. It is not known who are involved, but the
police did little to arrest them.
