According to locals, the SAC troops are conducting inspections more at the exits of Min Hla, after Captain Myo San Win, in-charge in recruitment, was shot in Min Hla Township, Tharyarwaddy District, Bago Region, on October 29.
I don’t know why Captain Myo San Win died. My brother and I went to Min Hla. As soon as we entered the city-exist, we saw soldiers and police. I think they inspect motorcycle licenses, but they inspect the cycle-box and everything in my bags. If I wear a mask, I have to take it off, a local said.
The SAC community is panicking and the inspection is too tough due to the death of a Captain who is in-charge of recruitment, in Min Hla township. Therefore, it was not crowded even on the full-moon day of Thadinkyut, according to the report.
A Min Hla resident told MPA, “That Captain was the first to be killed as an officer in Min Hla. Before, only the governors were shot and killed. The SAC community were scared to go outside. I heard they are talking about controlling travel. It was crowded on the full moon day in previous years _ but this year, it is not crowded due to that problem, their inspections are tough”.
According to the report, the SAC troops are inspecting Wards in Min Hla and the villages near the place where this captain was killed, under the pretext of a guest list.
I heard that wards were raided at night _ but they don’t inspect every house. They inspect only houses they suspect. About 20 police, soldiers and administrators inspected villages close to where the captain was shot. I still haven’t heard about the arrest, according to a Min Hla resident.
According to the statement of the Thayarwaddy Garun Force, Thayarwaddy District Battalion 3802- Division-2 and the Thayarwaddy Galun Force jointly opened fire Captain Myo San Win for collecting recruits and organizing Pyu militiamen for the SAC, arresting the people and asking for money from the people, between Zarik Chaug and Chaung Na, in Min Hla township, at 8:45 a.m. yesterday.
