April 19, 2011
Three separate cases were filed Monday night in connection with Sunday's violence in Khagrachhari that left three people dead.


Manjurul Afsar, officer-in-charge of Guimara Police Station, filed two cases -- one for killing and another for arson attack and looting – with the police station against 250 unnamed people, reports our Khagrachhari correspondent.

A group of affected indigenous people filed the other case with Manikchhari Police Station against 16 identified and 30-40 unidentified people in connection with vandalism and arson attack.

Zahir Ahmed, assistant superintendent of police (Ramgarh circle) confirmed filing of the cases to The Daily Star.

The Section 144 clapped soon after the incident in both Ramgarh and Manikchhari upazilas is still in force.

At least three people were killed, 20 injured and 30 houses were burnt on Sunday over a land dispute between indigenous people and Bangalee settlers at Shankhola Para of Ramgarh upazila.
