Stolen baby rescued
Rapid Action Battalion rescued an eight-month-old girl, who was recently stolen from the capital's Mirpur area, and detained three people in this connection from Bandar upazila of Narayanganj on Monday night.
After raiding Bandar Farazkanda area around 11:45pm, a team of Rab-11 rescued Marium and held Minara alias Tania, 30, Masum, 30, and Mousumi, 21, in connection with the theft, said Senior Assistant Superintendent of Police Alepuddin, of Rab-11.
The Rab members conducted the drive after a complaint was filed by victim's mother Setu Begum, a resident of Mirpur, with Shah Ali Police Station on February 22.
The Rab official was briefing journalists about the drive at Rab-11 headquarters in Narayanganj's Adamjee yesterday.
Two other members of the gang -- Al Amin, 28, and his wife Salma, 22 -- were absconding, he added.
Al Amin and Salma stole Marium on February 19 from Setu's house and sold the baby to a childless couple for Tk 15,000, the Rab official said.
Meanwhile, Setu also told Rab that her husband Billal Hossain, 36, is a drug addict, who had sold two of their children earlier.
Her third child, Sharmin, was also stolen allegedly by one Sultana when she was just eleven months old.
Sultana later killed the infant and dumped her body into a dustbin in Shahbagh area, Setu alleged.
Shahbagh police arrested Sultana later, she said.
Setu divorced her husband after her fourth child, Marium, was born.
The Rab official also said they were trying to arrest the other gang members.
