Abducted teenager rescued
A Mymensingh court yesterday sent a youth to jail after arresting him in the capital on Thursday in connection with abducting a schoolgirl.
The court sent the arrestee, identified as Md Jafarullah (20), of Satrashia village in Muktagacha of Mymensingh, to jail after he was produced before it yesterday, said Officer-in-Charge (investigation) of Muktagacha Police Station Md Jahangir Alam.
Police also rescued the abducted ninth grader from captivity, said the OC.
The girl will be sent to Mymensingh Medical College Hospital (MMCH) for medical test today, added the OC.
Acting on a tip-off, a police team led by Sub-inspector Humayun Kabir raided Bangshal area in Dhaka on Thursday. They arrested Jafarullah and rescued the 14-year-old from his captivity, said the OC.
Jafarullah was taken to the police station on Thursday night, the OC said.
The girl's mother lodged a case with Muktagacha Police Station on Sunday accusing six persons including Jafarullah. Police arrested Jafarulalh's brother Md Toukir and uncle Babul Mia on the same day. Later, they were sent to jail through the Mymensingh court, said the OC.
Quoting the case statement, the OC said Jafarullah had been stalking the girl for a while.
Jafarullah and his men had threatened the girl's parents to forcefully marry her, said the OC, quoting the victim's family members.
The girl's parents informed Jafarullah's family members but they did not take any step to stop him, it was also alleged.
As the girl's parents did not agree to his proposal, an angry Jafarullah along with his accomplices ransacked the girl's house, beat up her parents and abducted the girl, said the OC.
The girl's father who sustained serious injuries in the attack was admitted at MMCH.
