A leader of the Democratic Youth Forum has been abducted by an armed gang belonging to Jana Samhati Samiti (Santu) in Jurachari under Rangamati district.
Sources said a group of armed men led by Promesh Chakma, a Santu Larma loyalist, kidnapped Rupendu Chakma, 38, from Banajogichara village at about 9:45pm last night (12 February).
Rupendu Chakma is organising secretary of the DYF Jurachari unit. His father Devraj Chakma said he was kidnapped at gun point from home.
“Rupendu was having dinner when the armed men came.” he added.
Intra-Jumma conflict has increased in the last few months as the army is now openly backing the armed gangs of the Santu Larma loyalists.
In 2006, both UPDF and JSS reached some kind of compromise, with both sides agreeing to stop attacking each other.
But Santu Larma’s party violated the terms of the deal with renewed armed attacks on UPDF.
