One man was injured when military opened sporadic fire in Monnama, Maungdaw North on Tuesday.
The injured man and six others were rounded up by the military and taken to an unknown location. The arrested men were seen being dressed up in uniform resembling soldiers. It is suspected they will be videoed as guerrillas attacking Myanmar security forces.
Relatives fear the arrested men would be brutally tortured in custody. Since 2012, hundreds of Muslims have died following torture in custody.
Arakan has remained volatile since Sunday when unidentified assailants attacked a border post. In retaliation, the military has killed dozens of civilians including women and children.
