Rebel camps in Bangladesh : BDR allowed insurgents to flee |
 |
Bowing to mounting pressure from India, Bangladesh closed down a militant camp earlier this month at Satcherri in Habiganj district but allowed the insurgents to flee.
Central intelligence agencies said Dhaka took the decision to dismantle a camp belonging to the All Tripura Tiger Force in the Satcherri area. The order reached the Bangladesh Rifles and Rapid Action Battalion units in Habiganj but the authorities sat on the order and tipped off the Tiger Force activists.
Having made sure that the militants would not be affected by any operation, the combined force of BDR and RAB jawans raided the Satcherri camp on Janaury 12 and set it on fire. They also arrested Jogesh Debbarma and Surendra Debabrma, two senior Tiger Force militants, from areas close to the camp.
