On 2 February 1992 Bangladesh army backed Muslim settlers massacred about 30 indigenous Chakma Buddhists at Mallya. One of them was Bablu Chakma the son of Manek Kumar Chakma. Two bombs exploded on a river ferry at Mallya. The explosion killed a passenger and seriously injured the skipper of the vessel. The survivors swam ashore but the armed Muslim settlers were waiting for them and attacked the indigenous Chakma Buddhists - men women and children.

On 29 September 1986, Mrs. Badimila Chakma and her husband Mr. Kina Dhon Chakma of Rubber Plantation, Merung were returning home from Dighinala. Bangladesh army arrested them on the way. Bangladesh army brutally murdered Mr. Kina Dhon Chakma and barbarously gang raped Mrs. Badimila Chakma.

Mrs. Badimila Chakma had to take refuge in the Tripura State, India with her parents and presently sheltered at Karbook Refugee Camp in Tripura.

India was partitioned on the basis of religion in 1947. 98.5% of the CHT population was non-Muslim during the partition. The indigenous people of CHT opted to join either India or Burma. But Muslim League conspired with the Boundary Commission and illegally annexed CHT with East Pakistan in violation of the principle of partition. Successive Bangladesh governments have been sponsoring Muslim settlers from plain land to dilute the indigenous people of CHT.

Bangladesh army's role in CHT is to protect the Muslim settlers and carry out massacre, extra-judicial killing, torture, detention withou trial, land grab, rape, religious persecution and ethnic cleansing against indigenous Buddhist, Hindu and Animist people in CHT.
