The case was filed by Inspector Shajahan Talukdar of Khulna office of Narcotics Control Department.

Farzana was picked up by Inspector Shajahan Talukder on April 19 from West Senpara under Daulatpur thana.

She was allegedly beaten by the Inspector at his office and later sent to court, showing her arrested for possessing twelve packets containing heroin. Sub-Inspector Amirul Islam of Daulatpur thana said yesterday that a case was recorded against the girl before sending her to court. She was sent to Khulna district jail on the same day (April 19).

But Farzana's father Liaquat Ali alleged that Inspector Shajahan Talukder implicated his daughter her in a false case.

Liaquat Ali said that he had filed a petition on March 20 with the Metropolitan Magistrate's court accusing Inspector Shajahan Talukder of looting Tk 26,200 by breaking the lock of his house on March 12 on the plea of search. During search Inspector Shajahan also ransacked all rooms, damaging valuables.

Liaquat Ali said that he named four persons including Shajahan Talukder as accused. Three other accused are Deputy Inspector Shahriyar Sharmin, Constable Jalil and 'informer' Shushil.

"My innocent minor daughter has been victimised in a false case for filing a case against Inspector Shajahan Talukder and three others of the Narcotics Control Department for raiding on my house without any specific charge and looting Tk 26,200", Liaquat Ali alleged.

Farzana is a student of class three at Phulbari B K Government Primary School at Daulatpur.

Inspector Shajahan could not be contacted for comment as he was out of his office when the report was filed yesterday.
