Rangamati: Two female activists of United People’s Democratic Front (UPDF) were reportedly abducted by miscreants from Kutukchhari in Sadar upazila of Rangamati on Sunday, reports UNB.

The victims are Monty Chakma and Doyashona Chakma.

In a statement, UPDF claimed that a group of miscreants invaded the area in the morning and opened fire on some UPDF men, leaving Dharma Singh Chakma injured.
