A joint

Jumma people including five women during a search operation in Ballyachari
under Guimara Upazila in Khagrachari district.
According
to villagers, a group of 40 – 50 army and police personnel led by Shahadat
Hossain Titu, the Officer-in-charge of Guimara police station, raided four
Jumma houses at Ballyachari Rubber Plantation No. 2 at 2 a. m. and made the
arrests.
The arrested
Jummas included Rijendra Tripura (45) son of late Mono Ranjan Tripura; his son
Sushil Tripura (19), a first year student of Ramgarh Government College;
Sushil’s sister Jeshica Tripura (16), a student of class ten at Guimara High
School; Riton Tripura (13), a seventh grade student of Ballyachari Saint Paul
High School; Ms Sunali Chakma (40) wife of Sneha Kumar Chakma; his daughter and
a SSC examinee from Guimara High School Rehena Chakma; Ms Chinta Rani Tripura
(28) wife of Kiron Tripura and Ms Kamala Devi Chakma (32) wife of Biborton

When Kamala Devi Chakma’s son Animesh Chakma wanted to know why
her mother and others were being taken away, the police failed to give any
satisfactory answer, merely saying, ‘There are some reasons why were are arresting
them.’
