The Chakma student body calls on India and the international world to take action in response to the Khagrachari massacre.

The All India Chakma Students’ Union (AICSU) has strongly condemned the massacre in Guimara, Khagrachari, Bangladesh, where the Bangladesh Army allegedly killed at least four indigenous Jumma people, injured over fifty, and set villages ablaze. The attack followed peaceful protests triggered by the gang rape of a 12-year-old Marma girl, with survivors reporting indiscriminate firing by army forces and arson by armed settlers. AICSU has submitted a memorandum to the Indian Prime Minister urging urgent diplomatic intervention, humanitarian aid, and international investigation into these atrocities, describing them as state-backed ethnic persecution and systematic genocide against the Jumma peoples of the Chittagong Hill Tracts. The memorandum calls for summoning the Bangladeshi envoy, downgrading diplomatic ties, and pressing for UN intervention to protect indigenous lives and ensure justice.

Bhutan automobile smuggling: Arunachal Pradesh-registered SUV being investigated in Kochi.

“The Central Income Tax Department carried out a nearly 24-hour-long raid on jewellery shop owner Nupur Saha at Rangali Residency in Dhubri, amid allegations of large-scale financial irregularities. A team of around 10 officials meticulously examined the accounts and assets of Saha’s business premises, raising serious questions about the source of his wealth and his business practices. The operation, which sealed the showroom and interrogated employees, is part of a larger crackdown targeting Saha’s business network. Saha is accused of embezzling crores from Assam government contracts—particularly from the Social Welfare Department and projects for Scheduled Tribes—which were allegedly laundered to fund business ventures in Guwahati, Dhubri, and Barpeta. Investigators have focused on what they call the ‘white business of black money.’ This is not Saha’s first run-in with officials; the Enforcement Directorate had previously raided his firms in Guwahati. The Income Tax investigation is ongoing, with authorities continuing to scrutinize Saha’s financial records and assets.”
