The Rights & Risks Analysis Group (RRAG), an organisation dedicated to preventing human rights violations, has alleged that the Bangladesh Army killed at least four tribal people and injured over 40 others during indiscriminate firing on Sunday in the Guimara area of Khagrachari district, part of the Chittagong Hill Tracts.
According to RRAG, following 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 individuals belong to the indigenous tribal community.
The violent incident reportedly followed days of protests led by the Jumma Chatra Janata group. These protests began after a Class 8 girl was allegedly gang-raped on September 23, 2025, in Singhinala village, also in Khagrachari, RRAG stated. Protesters claim that the accused have not been arrested, which sparked outrage and fueled 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.”
In response to these developments, the RRAG has called on Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take diplomatic action by downgrading ties with what it referred to as the unelected government of Dr. Mohammad Yunus in Bangladesh.
Furthermore, the organisation announced 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.
As of now, there has been no official response from the Bangladesh government or military regarding these allegations.
