Lawmaker's daughter stabbed

Criminals stabbed the daughter of     a lawmaker from Bagerhat at   Shaltala More in the town yesterday evening.

Aditi Baral, daughter of Happy Baral, MP of a reserved seat for women in parliament, had been given first aid and she was out of danger, said civil surgeon Arun Chandra Mandal of Bagerhat.

Aditi said she along with her mother went to attend a rally at Amalapara School in Shaltala. A young man stabbed her in her thigh when she was about to get into her car to come home around 7:00pm, she said.

Happy Baral said criminals shot her husband dead in 2000 and since then they have been attacked several times. She said Aditi was stabbed in the leg eight months ago as well. 

Even though a case was filed then, police could not do anything, she said.

Officer-in-Charge Mahtab Uddin of Bagerhat Sadar Police Station said they were conducting raids to arrest those involved.
