The Army reportedly
attempted to break into the office of the United People's Democratic Front
(UPDF), located in Ujobazar in the Sajek union of Baghaichari Upazila,
Rangamati district.
The incident occurred
yesterday, Wednesday (October 8, 2025), in the afternoon.
Shopkeepers and
eyewitnesses in Ujobazar stated that, like every day, the leaders and activists
of the UPDF's affiliated organizations opened the office on Wednesday. Shortly
after they closed the office and left at 4:00 PM, Army personnel from the
Baghaihat Zone (14 Bengal) arrived in Ujobazar in two pickup trucks. They then
attempted to break into the UPDF office.
Separately, a local
Bkash agent reported that Army personnel came to the market yesterday and,
despite their reluctance, took photos of some of them. At that time, the
soldiers asked him about where he sends money via Bkash, and specifically if he
sends money to UPDF members.
The leadership of the
UPDF's Sajek Unit strongly condemned the Army's attempt to break into the UPDF
office, terming it a blatant interference with democratic rights.
