There, the soldiers allegedly took several people, including local representatives, hostage and subjected them to interrogations, asking questions such as: \u201cWhere are the UPDF members? Where did they eat? Why did you give them food?\u201d They also demanded that the villagers identify members of the UPDF.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Later, at around 2:30 p.m., the army personnel carried out operations at several locations while keeping the villagers hostage. When they failed to find any UPDF members, they went to the Chammey Adam area in the evening. There, they allegedly subjected the three villagers mentioned above to severe physical abuse using sticks and gun butts, and trampled them with their boots.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At that time, the soldiers reportedly threatened to shoot and kill the victims if news of the torture was made public.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It has been alleged that the army carried out the torture based on false information provided by the JSS (Santu Group).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Local residents further allege that for the past three months, a group of armed members of the JSS (Santu Group) has been stationed in the neighboring Machayachara area of Chikon Chan Para. Despite complaints from the local population, the army has taken no action against them and instead has been oppressing and harassing ordinary villagers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The residents have demanded justice for the torture of the three villagers and called for an immediate end to oppression, harassment, and abuse of the local population.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\">&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Panchari Correspondent, CHT News Wednesday, 24 December 2025 Three residents of Chikon Chan Para village in Logang Union of Panchari Upazila, Khagrachari district, have allegedly been subjected to inhumane torture by the army.
