Army personnel in Matiranga, Khagrachhari, have been
accused of detaining, assaulting, and harassing a local man overnight following
a search of his residence.
The victim has been identified as Dhoillyarai
Tripura, 52, son of the late Nirendra Tripura. He resides in Birendra Karbari
Para (Ward No. 3) under Matiranga Sadar Union.
According to local sources, a contingent of over 50
army personnel from the Matiranga Army Zone cordoned off and searched
Dhoillyarai Tripura’s home between 1:00 AM and 2:00 AM last night.
Although the search yielded no illegal items, the
soldiers took him into custody. He was reportedly held in a nearby forested
area throughout the night, where he was subjected to physical abuse and
interrogation. He was finally released around 9:00 AM on Monday, July 27, 2026.
Eyewitnesses noted that the military personnel were
accompanied by 4 to 5 masked vigilantes (locally referred to as Thangare).
In a separate incident, another group of 15 army
personnel from the Taikathang Army Camp was reportedly deployed to conduct
operations in the Mairum Para area of the same upazila.
