A ninth-grade student, abducted and trafficked into India through Hili border in September, was handed over to her family on Friday after she made it back to Bangladesh the day before.

A case was filed by her father with Biral Police Station, accusing her private tutor Ashutosh Chandra Roy and three others of abducting her on September 4.

On September 26, the case was transferred to Police Bureau Investigation (PBI).

The abductors crossed into India through Hili border on the same day of abduction and took her to Siliguri in West Bengal, the girl had told her parents over phone recently.

PBI was trying to arrest the abductors, the SI also said.
