RAB-11 has arrested Chan Mia alias Chanda Dakat (38), a terror youth cadre from a remote area of ​​Subarnachar upazila in Noakhali. At that time, 1 foreign pistol, 1 magazine, 1 round of bullets and 1 motorcycle were seized from his custody.

It is alleged that for the past fifteen months, residents of Mohammadpur Union of the upazila were held hostage by the armed terrorist group Chanda Dakat. After August 5, Chanda Dakat came into the spotlight for his reckless terrorist activities. Many people outside the area were afraid of him, and the police were also afraid of his political connections. The police were very reluctant to file a case against him.

The arrested robber is the son of Abdul Baten of Mojam Sardar’s house in Char Alauddin village of Ward No. 4 of Mohammadpur Union in Chanda Dakat Upazila and the brother of Didar, General Secretary of Mohammadpur Union Jubo Dal.

Mithun Kumar Kundu, acting commander of RAB-11, CPC-3 Noakhali Camp and Assistant Superintendent of Police, confirmed his arrest on Tuesday (October 28) afternoon. Earlier, he was arrested from Alamin Bazar, Ward No. 3, Charwapda Union, upazila, around 6:45 pm on Monday.

RAB-11 said that Chanda Dakat has been practicing weapons in the area, intimidating and torturing innocent locals. He has kept firearms in his custody to cause various riots and riots using weapons and bullets. He was arrested based on secret information.

According to locals, after the political change in the country on August 5, the Chanda dacoits in Mohammadpur Union indiscriminately extorted, looted cows, buffaloes, and fish from farms, and stole about several crores of taka. At the same time, this union became a sanctuary for drug traffickers. Mohammadpur Union, which was once a peaceful town, has now become a town of unrest and terrorism. Local residents are terrified by the clanging of weapons of drug and illegal weapons holders. After August 5, the Chanda dacoit army, the Faruk army, and the drug trafficker Totola army emerged in Mohammadpur Union. The Chanda dacoit army and the Faruk army are carrying out terrorist activities. On the other hand, the Awami League leader Totola army is running a booming drug trade. Many people pretend not to know about these incidents, so the 30,000 residents of Mohammadpur Union are in extreme insecurity.

Among these forces, the Chanda Dakat and Farooq Bahini’s job is to loot cows, buffaloes, and fish from local farms and sell them elsewhere. And the Totala Bahini’s job is to transport drug shipments from Urirchar in Companiganj Upazila of Noakhali, adjacent to Sandwip Upazila of Chittagong, via the river via the ghat of Mohammadpur Union and sell them in various places in the district, including Mohammadpur Union of Subarnachar Upazila, Sadar Upazila.

Mohammadpur Union resident Md. Alauddin said that 20 buffaloes, 26 cows and fish worth crores of taka and paddy from the farm of Mohammadpur Union Parishad Chairman Mohiuddin Chowdhury and his brothers were looted from the farm of Chanda dakat and Kalam Majhi, Md. Faruk Majhi. The people of the farm could not stop them due to fear of weapons and life.
It was not possible to take any statement from the accused Chanda dakat at the police station in RAB custody. However, Mohammadpur Union Jubo Dal General Secretary and Chanda dakat’s brother Md. Didar denied the allegations and said, “There is not even a single theft charge against my brother. My brother was arrested in a conspiracy. There is no force in this union.”

Mithun Kumar Kundu, acting commander of RAB-11, CPC-3 Noakhali Camp and Assistant Superintendent of Police, further said, “There are also other cases against the arrested accused, including attempt to murder, in Char Jabbar and Hatia police stations. Further legal action is under process regarding the arrested accused and the recovered weapons. The drive against illegal weapons and drugs will continue.”
