But, till reporting time, the dead body was not haned over to the family for bury, said a relative of victim.
The Nasaka personnel are using – so called arrest warrant list and involved in the riot- to extort money from Rohingyas and some time they fired to Rohingya villages to show the power and to flee the males Rohingya from village for looting the Rohingyas’ properties and to attempt to rape the females Rohingyas, according to a teacher from Maungdaw south.
