On August 3 2013, Bangladesh army backed Muslim settlers wielding sharp knives and machetes began to attack indigenous Buddhist and Hindu people in Taindong of Matiranga, claiming that indigenous miscreants had kidnapped a Muslim settler named Kamal Hossain. At least 50 indigenous people were wounded and 3 were killed. More than 1,500 indigenous men, women and children fled to the India-Bangladesh border. Indigenous Chakma and Tripuri refugees in temporary refugee camps set up by BSF (Border Security Force of India) in Indo-Bangladesh border.

Bengali settlers are suspected of killing an indigenous Tripura woman in Khagrachari

On 3 August 2014, an indigenous Tripura widow was brutally killed at Amritapara of Bhoibonchara union in Khagrachari district. The dead body of the victim was rescued by the villagers from her house. Her body was taken to Khagrachari General Hospital for autopsy. Indigenous people believe that Muslim settlers killed her after rape and torture.

India was partitioned on the basis of religion in 1947. 98.5% of the CHT population was non-Muslim in 1947. 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 is to protect the Muslim settlers and carry out ethnic cleansing against indigenous people in CHT.

Bangladesh army can arbitrarily confiscate indigenous people's land with the excuse of establishing military camps. Needless to say Chittagong Hill Tracts is one of the most militarized region on earth. Bangladesh army can harass and intimidate the indigenous people from these camps until indigenous people leave their villages and homes. After indigenous people leave, Bangladesh army settles Muslim settlers in their villages. Their aim is to Islamize Chittagong Hill Tracts by terror.
