Abducted girl rescued, 2 arrested

Rapid Action Battalion (Rab-12) in a drive early yesterday rescued a minor girl, abducted from Sirajganj's Tarash upazila on May 12, and arrested two people for their alleged involvement in the abduction.

The arrestees are Mohammad Jony, 22, and his father Kafi Fakir, 45.

Assistant Superintendent of Police Mostafizur Rahman, also media officer of Rab-12, said Jony with the help of some of his accomplices picked up the twelve-year-old victim on May 12 when she came out of her room to respond to the call of nature.

Failing to trace her whereabouts, the girl's family later lodged a general diary with Tarash Police Station and also submitted a complaint to Rab-12 in this regard on Sunday.

After tracking the kidnappers' mobile phone location, a team of Rab-12 led by Major Moshiur Rahman, deputy commander of Rab-12, raided Jony's house around 1:30am early yesterday and rescued the girl.

The law enforcers also arrested Jony and his father Kafi from the spot.
