The Rights & Risks Analysis Group (RRAG), an organisation working to prevent human rights violations, has alleged that the Bangladesh Army killed at least four tribal people and injured over 40 others in indiscriminate firing on Sunday in the Guimara area of Khagrachari district, part of the Chittagong Hill Tracts.
According to RRAG, after the firing, the Army allowed alleged illegal settlers to burn down houses belonging to tribal families in the Ramsu Bazaar area. Most of the affected tribal people.
The violent incident reportedly followed days of protests led by the Jumma Chatra Janata group, it said.
The protests began after a Class 8 girl was allegedly gangraped on September 23, 2025 in Singhinala village, also in Khagrachari, RRAG said.
It said that the protesters state that the accused have not been arrested, sparking outrage and continued demonstrations.
RRAG Director Suhas Chakma strongly condemned the actions of the Bangladesh Army, stating, “Instead of arresting the rapists, the Bangladeshi Army personnel have been violating the rights of indigenous protesters and today resorted to killing peaceful demonstrators. The firing, followed by the burning of tribal homes, shows the attacks were pre-planned.”
The RRAG has called on Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take diplomatic action by downgrading ties with what it called the “unelected government” of Dr Mohammad Yunus in Bangladesh.
The organisation also said that it will raise the issue of these alleged human rights violations at the ongoing 60th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in Geneva this week.
So far there has been no official response yet from the Bangladesh government or military regarding the allegations.
