One Jumma villager killed by Bengali settlers in Sajek
On 19 August 2008 a group of Bengali settlers made an attack on the house of Jadhu Mani Chakma (45) s/o Kusum Kumar Chakma of Gangaram Mukh of Sajek union under Baghaichari upazila in Rangamati district. Jadhu Mani Chakma was chopped to death in this attack.
It is learnt that on that day around 10.00 p.m. a group of Bengali settlers led by Jahar Ali s/o Asaniya Ali encircled the house of Jadhu Mani Chakma and then chopped Jadhu Mani Chakma and his wife Shanti Bala Chakma (35) in front of the house. Jadhu Mani Chakma was killed while his wife Shanti Bala Chakma got admitted at Khagrachari sadar hospital. It is also reported that during the visit of the CHT Commission, Jadhu Mohan gave valuable information about land grabbers and grabbing. Local people suspect that this is the main reason behind on his murder.
Another two culprits were identified as Md. Noor Alam s/o Julfu Mia and Md. Ali s/o Nasar Ali helped Jahar Ali.
It is mentionable that military forces undertook programme to settle down Bengali settlers along the road side of Baghaihat-Sajek road evicting indigenous Jumma villagers. Bengali settlers with the help of military forces burnt to ashes 7 Jumma villages in Sajek on 20 April to occupy Jumma villagers' land. Very recently on 9 August, Hriday Ranjan Chakma (70) s/o Ramani Mohan Chakma was also chopped by Bengali settlers just after the visit of CHT Commission at this area.
