2 villagers abducted in Rangamati
PCJSS, UPDF blame each other
Unidentified gunmen abducted two villagers from New Lalyaghona and Madhya Baghaichhari villages under Baghaichhari upazila of the district at midnight on Saturday.
The victims are Samir Karbari alias Sukhya Karbari, 55, son of late Debendra Bikash Karbari of New Lalyaghona village, and Riken Chakma Fatik, 20, son of Chirajyoti Chakma of Madhya Baghaichhari village in Baghaichhari upazila.
Family members of Samir and Bikash said criminals picked up the two from their houses at gun point.
Sajib Chakma, assistant information secretary of Parbatya Chattagram Jana Sanghati Samity (PCJSS) yesterday blamed United People's Democratic Front (UPDF) for kidnapping the villagers.
Locals told me that armed cadres of UPDF abducted Samir and Bikash, Sajib added.
Mitchel Chakma, secretary of Gono Tantrik Juba Forum, a youth body of UPDF, refuted the allegation. The PCJSS is putting the blame on UPDF to tarnish its image.
“I came to know that the armed cadres of PCJSS picked up the two from their houses,” he added.
