He had been abducted earlier that evening, at around 6:30 PM.<\/p>\n<p>The victim, Shubho Chakma, is a resident of Hatikumbha Para in Ramgarh. His father&#8217;s name is Tanneram Chakma.<\/p>\n<p>According to reports, after the abduction, the vigilantes took Shubho to their hideout in Manikchari.

Once the payment was made, Shubho was released.<\/p>\n<p>Shubho reported that during the abduction, the vigilantes interrogated him, asking questions such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cHave you joined the UPDF?\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cHow many UPDF members are active in Ramgarh?\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Public Outrage and Local Demands<\/p>\n<p>Local residents have demanded the immediate arrest and punishment of those responsible for abducting Shubho Chakma.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth noting that the Mottaleb Bahini vigilante group, has been committing various crimes such as murder, abduction, extortion, and robbery in the Manikchari area for a long time, allegedly with direct support from the army.
