Police have filed a case against 242 individuals following an armed attack that destroyed a joint forces camp in Jungle Salimpur, Sitakunda upazila of Chattogram. The case names 42 people, including alleged local gang leader Md Yasin, as accused, while another 200 unidentified individuals are also implicated. The case was lodged on Monday by Inspector Sohel Rana of the Faujdarhat police outpost, confirmed by Sitakunda Police Station Officer-in-Charge Mohammad Mahinul Islam.

According to police, the charges include armed assault on law enforcement, obstruction of government duty, damage to state property, and violations under the Explosives Act. The attack occurred around 2 a.m. on Sunday night, when armed assailants opened fire on the camp and later demolished its walls and structures using bulldozers. To delay reinforcements, attackers reportedly cut roads at four points before fleeing as joint forces launched a counter-operation.

Earlier on March 9, authorities had conducted a major operation in Jungle Salimpur to arrest armed groups and seize weapons, establishing joint force camps afterward to maintain control of the area.
