400 army personnel martyred in the mountains, no one was informed: Rawa chairman Retired Armed Forces Officers Welfare Association (RAWA) chairman Col. (Retd.)

Mohammad Abdul Haque has said that there may be international influence behind the recent violence in Khagrachari. In an interview with a leading media outlet, he said that the alleged rape allegations were exaggerated so that the United People's Democratic Front (UPDF) and its affiliates attacked, vandalized and set fire to the houses of local people and opened fire on the army, creating instability. Three people were killed and many were injured in this.
