On 5 January 1987, a group of 35 Bangladesh army and BDR personnel from their respective camps at Logang Bazar and Dhuduk Chara raided the indigenous Buddhist village Mrittunjoy Member Para of Logang in Panchari, Khagrachari district.

During the raid Bangladesh army and BDR barbarously raped an indigenous Buddhist housewife and arrested her husband.

As stated by her, 5 army personnel came and surrounded her house at 07:00 a.m. 2 Bangladesh army men remained at guard and 3 others swooped on her. The culprits undressed her and raped her consecutively.

Bangladesh army arrested her husband and took him along with them. Since then her husband is still missing, presumably murdered by Bangladesh army.
