JSS sheltering a murderer

The Dighinala Unit of the Jana Samhati Samiti is providing shelter to an absconding criminal accused of murder, rape and looting.

 

Sunil Kanti Chakma (30) alias Petto s/o Amrito Muni Chakma of village Kripa Para in Dighinala, now in the sheltering care of the JSS, is one of the masterminds behind the killing of Gopal Moni Chakma in Dighinala. He was killed by a group of armed robbers on 25 March this year.

 

The armed robbers broke into the house of Gopal Muni Chakma, looted valuables and chopped him to death. The culprits also raped his wife and two young daughters. The news was published in the Swadhikar bulletin (issue No. 32).

 

Sunil Kanti Chakma and his gang members have been absconding after the incident. It was believed that they might have fled to India to avoid arrest. But recently it has been learnt that the JSS has inducted Sunil Kanti Chakma into one of its armed groups. He is now operating in Dighinala area.
