The arrest of Mikel Chakma by RAB personnel on 8 February from Chittagong was a plot to malign the image of the Democratic Youth Forum, DYF leaders claim. (paper clipping attached)
At a press conference held at Chittagng Press Club yesterday (13 February) Ziko Marma, president of DYF Chittagong Metropolitan City unit, demanded his immediate and unconditional release from jail.
Narrating the incident of Mikel Chakma’s arrest, he said Mikel Chakma, member secretary of DYF central committee, went to Banik Para of Sagarika road at Akankar to attend a meeting when he was arrested.
“At one stage JSS members Barun Kumar Chakma, Proti Jibon Chakma, Nirmal Chakma alias Tugulukya and Jogot Joti Chakma entered the house where Mikel Chakma was holding the meeting and looked for him.
“One of the JSS thugs was wielding an LG (light gun) while the othersm were armed with sticks.
“The miscreants asked who, among those present at the meeting, Mikel Chakma was as none of them knew him personally.
“At one stage Mikel Chakma introduced himself and asked the JSS thugs to explain the reason for their unruly behaviour.
“They hurled some extremely abusive language at Mikel and refused to hear him.
“At that point, JSS men Joy and Ujwal Chakma appeared with sticks in hands. They were soon followed by five RAB members. Another JSS thug Shanta Kumar Chakma accompanied RAB. He covered his face with a piece of cloth.
“A few seconds later more RAB personnel in 4 – 5 vehicles came and surrounded the whole area.
“When the house was being searched Mikel Chakma went to a toilet to relief himself.
“As he was coming back after toilet was done, the RAB members held him back.
“In the meantime, JSS thugs put two LGs and some packets of Yaba (drugs) into his bag.”
Before the arrest, the masked man, Shanta Kumar Chakma, fingered Mikel Chakma to the RAB.
“This was how Mikel Chakma was arrested” Ziko said unraveling the plot.
Mikel Chakma was kept under RAB custody at Potenga for one day and night and was handed over to Pahartoli police station at midnight on 9 February.
Ziko Marma also demanded that the false case filed against Mikel Chakma be lifted, the JSS thugs who plotted his arrest be arrested and repression on UPDF and its front organisations be stopped.
The press conference was also attended, among others, by Supreme Chakma, Bakul Kanti Chakma, Thomus Chakma and Bijoy Chakma.
