Police rescue child who was sold after kidnap
Police on Thursday rescued a child -- who had been abducted and sold a day ago -- from Sunamganj’s Jamalganj upazila and arrested two people in this connection.
Three-year-old Rafsan was handed over to his parents, said Mizanur Rahman, superintendent of police in the district, during a press brief at his office yesterday.
The arrestees are Jobeda Begum from Lakshmipur village and Jasim Uddin from Sardarpur village.
Police said Jobeda kidnapped the child from Lakshmipur on Wednesday and brought him to Sardarpur.
She claimed the child to be her son and expressed interest to the villagers in selling off the child saying that was unable to take care of it due to poverty, police said.
One Kabir Mia took the child in exchange for only Tk 7,000.
On information, police went to Sardarpur on Thursday night and rescued the child, police said, adding that they had arrested Kabir from the spot.
Later, police arrested Jobeda based on Kabir’s information.
