Maungdaw, Arakan State : In a daring act, Natala villagers (model villagers) of Loun Don, Maungdaw Township looted gold ornaments from family members of Nasaka personnel on April 15. The victims were returning to Nasaka area No. 4 from Nasaka Area No. 5 after attending the water festival (water pouring) at sunset, said a close aide of Nasaka.
 
On April 15, about 15 to 20 family members of Nasaka personnel from Nasaka Area No. 4 went to the Nasaka Area No.5 because they were invited to attend the water festival. They were returning to their Nasaka Camp No. 24 after sunset.  On the way they were robbed by Natala villagers of Lone Don.
 
About 12 Natala villagers from Loun Don Natala village including women members with lethal weapons stopped their car and looted four gold chains from the female members at dagger point. However, one of the Nasaka personnel resisted the Natala villagers and was critically injured along with three others including a woman. They were sent to Bawli Bazaar clinic for treatment.
 
The following morning, the injured Nasaka members were sent to Nasaka Headquarters which is in Gyikan Pyin (Kawar bill) village tract about 9.87 miles from Maungdaw Township .
 
On April 16, some Nasaka personnel accompanied by the police went to the Natala village and arrested four Nasaka villagers. They are being detained and tortured in Nasaka Headquarters.
 
If the Natala villagers face trouble over the incident they will go back to their native village in Burma proper, said a man who is close to Natala villagers.
 
 "It is good for the Rohingya community as the Nasaka and other concerned authorities do not pay attention when we complain about the Natala villagers' atrocities against Rohingya villagers. This time, they (Nasaka) will know, what the Natala villagers are like," a Rohingya village elder said.
