Panchhari Correspondent, CHT News<\/strong>
\nSunday, November 8, 2026<\/p>\n

Armed cadres of the PCJSS (Santu Group) have reportedly evicted the family of Purna Lal Tripura (34), a member of the United People’s Democratic Front (UPDF), from his home in Katalmoni Para, located under Ward No. 9 of the 4th Latiban Union in Panchhari Upazila, Khagrachhari.<\/p>\n

When contacted, Purna Lal’s wife, Jalika Tripura (30), said, “I have been driven from my home for 10 to 12 days now, left destitute and taking shelter in a neighbor’s yard. The PCJSS members did not allow me to take anything, not even my daily necessities and household goods.”<\/p>\n

She continued, “Because our house sits on a slightly elevated area in the hills, 20 to 30 armed PCJSS members first pitched tents and stayed overnight in our courtyard. Later, they began sleeping in the kitchen and eventually inside the main house. At first, they threatened and intimidated me with their words. Soon, they started constantly pressuring me to bring back my husband, Purna Lal Tripura. Fearing for my safety as a woman, and with my four minor children, I had no choice but to flee our home and take shelter with villagers.”<\/p>\n

Expressing her helplessness, she added, “Even today, I sent my son back to the house to fetch warm clothing like quilts and blankets. But they wouldn’t let him bring them and sent him back empty-handed. As a result, during this cold weather, my children and I are suffering immensely, living out in the open in someone else’s yard.”<\/p>\n

Reports indicate that on October 21, armed cadres of the PCJSS (Santu Group) raided Katalmoni Para. At the time, they reportedly threatened local villagers in various ways, barred outsiders from entering the neighborhood, and imposed strict restrictions on residents’ daily movements. Holding the entire village hostage, the armed group has split into four units and surrounded the settlement.<\/p>\n

Locals have also alleged that the Bangladesh Army is providing direct and indirect support to the armed members of the PCJSS (Santu Group).<\/p>\n
