Bangladesh Army personnel reportedly searched the homes of two indigenous villagers in Jarulchhari Bridge Dokan Para, Ward No. 1 of Bangaltali Union, Baghaichari Upazila, Rangamati.
The two villagers were identified as Sabinoy Chakma (35), son of Buddha Ranjan Chakma, and Chibechoga Chakma (52), son of Bishwa Mohan Chakma. Both are residents of Jarulchhari Bridge Dokan Para.
According to local sources, a team of Army personnel arrived in Jarulchhari Bridge Dokan Para at around 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, November 5, 2026. The soldiers searched the homes of the two villagers and questioned them about various matters, including the whereabouts and activities of UPDF members. The searches reportedly caused harassment and intimidation. The soldiers later left the area.
Local residents also reported that approximately 25 to 30 Army personnel are currently stationed at Jarulchhari Government Primary School, while another 15 to 20 soldiers are stationed at Jarulchhari Lower Secondary School.
It is worth noting that since November 2, Army personnel from Baghaihat Army Zone and Korengatali Army Camp have reportedly been conducting regular patrols, both day and night, in various villages across Bangaltali and Sajek unions. Local residents have accused the Army of subjecting ordinary villagers to harassment during these operations.
