Sajek Correspondent, CHT News<\/strong>

Bangladesh Army personnel have been accused of brutally beating an indigenous woman in Ujobaazar, Sajek, in Rangamati District.<\/p>\n

The incident reportedly occurred at around 5 p.m. on Thursday, October 22, 2026.<\/p>\n

The woman, identified as Samapti Chakma, 30, is the wife of Chibabu Chakma and a resident of Uluchhara village in Sajek, Rangamati.<\/p>\n

According to reports, Samapti had traveled to Khagrachhari to care for her sister-in-law, who was ill. She was returning home at around 5 p.m. when she arrived in Ujobaazar, where army personnel were stationed. The soldiers allegedly forced her out of the vehicle and subjected her to a severe beating, leaving her with injuries to various parts of her body.<\/p>\n

Earlier that day, at around 11 a.m., army personnel allegedly attacked protesters enforcing a road blockade called by the Sajek Public Rights Protection Committee and the Sajek Karbari Association. The soldiers reportedly launched a heavy baton charge and fired blank shots to disperse the crowd. More than 60 men and women were reportedly injured in the incident.<\/p>\n

Local residents suspect that the alleged assault on Samapti Chakma was connected to the earlier confrontation between the army and protesters during the blockade.<\/p>\n
