Police rescued a three-year-old girl from Benapole yesterday four days after her abduction from Pirojpur.

The victim is Hridoy, daughter of Shahid Bari of Jhatkati village in Pirojpur Sadar upazila.

Monir Hossain, sub-inspector of Benapole Police Station, said Taslima Khatun of Rajar Khola village in Pirojpur Sadar adopted the girl from her father after her mother was sent to jail in a case a few months ago.

A gang led by Mahabul, Shahabul, Bakul and Hafizur of Benapole abducted the baby from Pirojpur on Wednesday for ransom.

Taslima gave Tk 5000 to the kidnappers but they did not return Hridoy.

Benapole and Priojpur police jointly rescued the girl from the area yesterday.
