Later the group of military also tortured the area elderly and administrator for having the Taraweeh prayer in their area Masjid (Mosque).
According to locals, they were also seen to chase the people in the area and were spotted to torture pedestrians.
Religious restrictions on Rohingya is a rooted genocidal tool in Arakan (Rakhine), where Rohingya in almost all areas of Arakan are totally barred from any form of religious practices and teachings, esp. after the state-sponsored violence on Rohingya in 2012.
