Later, Camp in Charge held a meeting with camp supervisors and abused the Rohingya and said that they have to leave the camps.
According to a Rohingya who attended the meeting said one of the officer after the meeting shouted by saying "who will feed you guys here and for how long and you all must return as well," when Rohingya denied their proposal.

Earlier on 3rd November, another Rohingya elderly tried to commit suicide in fear of returning to Arakan, where his two sons were killed by Burmese forces in-front of his own eyes.
Although Rohingya denied repeatedly to return in the ongoing genocidal operation in Arakan, Burma-Bangladesh deal of immediate repatriation is proving life threatening for the Rohingya genocide survivors.
