Security agencies and rights groups say over 500 people have been killed in the last 20 years of bloody conflict, alongside numerous abductions and assaults. The PCJSS in 2010 saw another faction, PCJSS (MN Larma). But when a group split from UPDF in November 2017, as UPDF (Democratic), led by former UPDF leader, Tapan Jyoti Chakma, , the hills started to become violent again. Ten days after that, supposedly they killed UPDF organizer, Anal Bikash Chakma, in the Bondukvanga area. Three members of UPDF were shot dead at Korolyachari under Baghaichari upazila in Rangamati in the early hours of May 28.
