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.

Bangladesh army construct army camp in Dighinala

In May, 1995, the Bangladesh army builds another new Army Camp in the south­ western part of Pradip Karbari Para village in No. 56 Bar Hazachara Mouza under the jurisdiction of Dighinala, Khagrachari district in breach of the cease­ fire agreement.

There are military camps everywhere in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. Often Bangladesh army builds military camps by grabbing indigenous people's land. Bangladesh army harass indigenous people from these camps. They restrict movement of indigenous people. If indigenous Buddhist people vacate their homes and villages to escape harassment, Bangladesh army settles Muslim settlers in their homes and villages.

In 1947, India was partitioned on the basis of religion. In 1947, 98.5% of the CHT population was non-Muslim. 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.
