Members of the Bangladesh Army looted cash after
conducting a search at the home of a villager in Himanshu Karbari Para of Ward
5 in Dighinala Union No. 4 under Dighinala upazila of Khagrachari district.
The villager subjected to the search is Shantimoy
Chakma (36), son of Shantimoni Chakma.
According to local sources, today, Thursday (20
November 2025), at around 7 p.m., a group of army personnel went to Himanshu
Karbari Para and raided the house of Shantimoy Chakma.
During the raid, the army repeatedly asked Shantimoy,
the homeowner, “Where are the UPDF members?” In response, he said, “No UPDF
members live here.”
The soldiers then entered the house and conducted a
thorough search. Finding nothing illegal, they allegedly took taka 7,350 from
the cupboard, according to family members.
It is worth mentioning that in recent days, under the
pretext of so-called operations in Dighinala, incidents of house searches,
harassment, and religious insults by the army have reportedly increased.
Local residents have strongly condemned and protested
such actions by the army and have urged the higher authorities of the military
as well as the government to put an immediate stop to this harassment.
