Bijay and Samiran Chakma of Mallya Massacre
On 2 February 1992 Bangladesh army backed Muslim settlers killed at least 30 indigenous Chakma Buddhists at Mallya. 2 of them were Bijay Chakma and Samiran Chakma, the sons of Saral Kumar Chakma. Two bombs exploded on a river ferry at Mallya. The explosion killed a passenger and seriously injured the skipper of the ferry. The survivors swam ashore but the armed Muslim settlers were waiting for them and attacked the indigenous Chakma Buddhists - men women and children.

Prime Minister threaten indigenous people with Logang style massacre in Khagrachari

On 13 May 1992, Prime Minister Khaleda Zia visited Logang, Dighinala and Khagrachari. While addressing public gatherings of mainly Muslim settlers and Tripuras (who were assembled by the military authorities), she said that there would be further incident like that of Logang if the Shanti Bahini would kill any Muslims in the future.

She also told the audience that the CHT problem could be solved politically. But Begum Khaleda Zia did not clarify whether the Government would take any initiative in this respect. She emphasised the need for accelerating the socio economic development in the CHT.
