The military presence and their aggressive behavior caused widespread fear and anxiety among local residents.<\/p>\n<p>During the raid, the army forcibly entered and searched the homes of three villagers: Bidya Ranjan Chakma (35), Badikkya Chakma (50), Nanjita Ma (50), a widowed woman.<\/p>\n<p>None of the targeted individuals have any known criminal allegations against them.<\/p>\n<p>This operation follows a similar army intrusion the previous day, when troops entered Bhaibonchara village and patrolled the area, causing alarm among villagers.
