A case has been filed over the shooting death of four United People’s Democratic Front (UPDF) leaders in Khagrachhari’s Panchhari. Nirupam Chakma, the uncle of victim Bipul Chakma, started the case against nearly 20 people at Panchhari Police Station on Wednesday, said Shafiul Azam, chief of the police station. Three other UPDF leaders, Niti Datta Chakma, Harikamal Tripura and Prakash Tripura, have reportedly been missing since the incident. A team of seven UPDF leaders and activists, including Bipul Chakma, visited Logang on Monday for organisational work. Aungue blamed the Gonotantrik UPDF for the incident, but Shyamol Chakma, president of the Gonotantrik UPDF, refuted the allegations, suggesting that several organisations in the Chattogram Hill Tracts could have carried out the attack.
