Although the incident was termed a &#8216;bank robbery&#8217;, it was not just a petty crime by a thief-robber. Armed group Kuki-Chin National Front (KNF) has carried out these terrorist activities to create an unstable situation in Chittagong Hill Tracts. In these armed ways, they have occasioned robbery, but their main aim is greater and far-reaching. But everyone, including Pahari-Bengalis, now has only one question: where did the terrorist organization KNF get the courage to rob banks in the country? What message does the KNF want to send through such an attack when the government&#8217;s peace talks with this anti-peace organization are ongoing?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">KNF used to train militants in the barren forests of Bandarban. Joint forces, including the RAB, busted their militant hideouts and recovered arms and ammunition. They went into hiding due to the strict stance of the law and order forces. KNF chief Nathan Bom went into hiding in his own house over the border. They were arrested one after another, and weapons were recovered. At one point, a discussion proposal came up. KNF will surrender. And Bandarban Zilla Parishad Chairman K. Shai Hla K was responsible for making this discussion successful. He is also the chairman of the Peace Committee in that area. Kuki China has strengthened its network in the area in the name of peace talks. Compromise is far-fetched, power has increased, and shelters have been built in the bottomless forest. Pahari-Bengali leaders said that those with whom they have been given the responsibility to negotiate are directly involved with the KNF. They receive regular subscriptions. Those leaders live a luxurious life with their subscription money. These masked people are, on the one hand, the people&#8217;s representatives of the area, and on the other hand, they keep pace with the KNF.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If the operation of the joint forces, including RAB, continued without discussion, they could not have shown such audacity as the bank robbery in public. Within 400 yards was the position of law and order forces. They looted the bank with open arms inside this city. Police and Ansar also seized 15 weapons. At 9 o&#8217;clock on Tuesday night, they first robbed the Sonali Bank branch in Ruma Upazila. Hundreds of KNF members surrounded the bank with weapons. 10 members of the police were on the side, and UNO&#8217;s house was also there. They tried to break the vault of the bank. Bank manager Nezamuddin was praying in the mosque. When he came out of the mosque, he was kidnapped. But Volt could not break. Later on Wednesday, at noon, KNF attacked the Sonali Bank branch and the Krishi Bank branch in neighboring Thanchi upazila at the same time. Armed forces of 30 to 60 KNF entered the two banks and took the money. Takes the customer&#8217;s mobile phone into the bank. According to Krishi Bank&#8217;s public relations department, Tk 7 lakh and the mobile bank of some customers have been taken from Krishi Bank. Afzal Karim, managing director of the bank, said that Sonali took several lakhs of rupees from the bank.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Executive Officer of Thanchi Upazila, Mamun, said armed terrorists have taken Tk 7 lakh from Krishi Bank and Tk 15 lakh from Sonali Bank.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Locals say that Kuki Chin is becoming dangerous in hilly areas, especially in the Bandarban area. They are regularly collecting contributions from various government projects, tenders, government offices, courts, agriculture, and all other sectors. Several officers of Bandarban Zilla Parishad get a regular share of this contribution. Because of this, they have a deep relationship with Kuki Chin. Pahari-Bengali leaders said that it was not right to give them the responsibility to compromise with this armed organization. As they are doing terrorist activities, extortion, murders, and vandalism in the hills, we are suffering from insecurity. Even if they go to the market with chickens, they have to pay a subscription. Even if you go to cut bamboo, you have to pay a fee. One such organization was given a chance in the name of compromise. With this opportunity, they speed up their activities, getting an opportunity to build trust in the barren forest. Dare to rob banks in public. This has now created extreme panic among the Pahari-Bengalis.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal said that a militant group called the Kuki Chin National Front (KNF) is involved in bank robberies in Bandarban&#8217;s Ruma and Thanchi. Strict action is being taken against them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">IGP Chowdhury Abdullah Al Mamun visited the scene yesterday to know the overall situation. The IGP said everyone is working together to rescue the bank manager. We are working together to counter terrorist activities. We have enough capacity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Some political leaders in Bangladesh have an affinity with Kuki Chin. Besides, they have connections with representatives of several civilized societies. Because they regularly get their share of extortion money from Cookie China. According to law and order forces, Kuki Chin should not have been given a chance. Taking the opportunity, they camped at different places in the dense forest. It will be difficult for us to control them now. Because it is difficult to travel to the places where they have settled. They know everything. It takes a day or two to go to all those areas. Earlier, the entire mountain was under control. Also fuels JSS (root), JSS (reform), UPDF (root), and UPDF (reform) with cookie chins. They are united in the conspiracy to separate the mountainous region from Bangladesh. For this reason, there should be no compromise with them. Like the 63 districts in the country, the government has made great progress here. Everyone is in harmony with each other. Those involved in anti-national activities pose a threat. Some countries in the outside world help them with money and weapons. Strict measures should be taken by the government to eliminate them. In this case, it will not be right to discount. According to the law and order forces, the complaint of the joint forces in the rescue of the bank manager is continuing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Special Reporter: Looting in three branches of two big banks within 15 hours is definitely a very sensitive and sensational event in terms of security.
