The army detained one person and tortured three others
in Madhya Harikaba village of Ward 7, Longadu Union, Longadu Upazila of

According to sources, on Monday morning (17 November
2025), a group of 20–22 army personnel from Bame Longadu Sub-Zone raided Madhya
Harikaba village. The soldiers moved around the village allegedly searching for
“terrorists.”
As today was the weekly market day at Vaibonchara
Bazaar, many villagers had gone there to shop. However, the army reportedly
physically assaulted those who were still at home. The incident of torture
occurred around 12 p.m.
Among the victims, Sagar Basa Chakma was taken away by
the army after being tortured, according to reports.
As of the time this report was written, it was not
known whether he had been released.
This incident of torture and detention by the army has
caused fear among local residents.
Locals have reported that the army team is currently
staying at the Karbari’s (village head) house in Madhya Harikaba.
Meanwhile, locals have demanded an immediate end to
such abuses, accusing the army of carrying out unjustified repression and
torture on civilians under the pretext of searching for “terrorists.”
