The victims Rohingya are hailed from Paunn Doke village in Mrauk U. They were coming back passing a Rakhine village from the market getting household bazaar and rice for their family. Impetuously, a Rakhine mob appeared towards them and squeezed all their belonging consisted of money. The Buddhist Rakhine racists stroked them unconscious to put down flat in the ground.

The Rakhine racists tied those Rohingya with steel chain in one line. As usual falsified allegations against vulnerable Rohingya minority, the extremists also made them carrying gallons and rubber containers of Diesel and matches as the Rohingya entered Rakhine village to be blazed the houses.

A crowd of Rakhines dragged those Rohingya to the nearest Army personnel with a complaint of suspicious be arson to Buddhist village.
