In response to the recent bank robbery, abduction and criminal activities in Bandarban district, the ongoing joint operation led by Bangladesh Army arrested nine more operatives of militant group Kuki-Chin National Front (KNF) with nine arms in a hilly remote area under Ruma upazila of the district on Tuesday, reports UNB.

A media release of Inter Services Public Relation Directorate (ISPR) confirmed the matter saying the KNF members were also arrested with ammunitions during the drive.

On April 2, the separatist group kidnapped Bandarban's Ruma upazila branch Sonali Bank manager Md Nezam Uddin and tried to loot Tk 1.5 crore from the vault of the branch. But they were unable to take the money.
