The seven-member strong panel led by Deepak Chakraborty, a director of the Local Government Division for Chattogram region, visited the scene on Thursday, according to Monjur Alam, chief of Baghaichhari Police Station. We were trying to collect all the evidence," said Chakraborty, the head of the investigation committee. On Mar 18, unidentified gunmen in Rangamati shot dead the seven after the end of the second phase of the Upazila election boycotted by an organisation of Chattogram Hill Tracts people. At least 11 others were injured when the gunmen carried out the attack in Noi Mile area on Baghaichhari-Dighinala road. The government later formed the investigation committee and asked it to determine the reasons for the killings, extent of damages, and recommend ways to prevent a repeat of violence in the area.
