False murder victim found in M’singh
Police on Tuesday morning detained a teenager whose mother in a false case, filed with a Pabna court eight months ago, claimed that his uncles had murdered him and concealed his body.
After tracking down the boy in a restaurant in Mymensingh city, police in the afternoon produced him before the Pabna Judicial Magistrate’s Court, which handed him over to the custody of his family, said Obaidul Haque, officer-in-charge (OC) of Pabna Sadar Police Station.
Before being released, the boy in a confessional statement before the court stated that his mother, Pabna Sadar upazila resident Merina Khatun, filed the case in September last year to harass his uncles over property dispute.
Ever since, he had been away from home and staying in different parts of the country, The OC quoted the boy as saying.
In the case statement, Merina Khatun claimed that her son could not be traced as her three brothers-in-law killed him and were hiding his body since September 10.
Police started investigation according to court order and during investigation, police found out that the victim, as claimed in the case, was in fact alive, OC Obaidul said.
Investigators then focused on finding the false victim. And “eight months after filing of the case, through the use of tracking technology, they succeeded in catching up with him on Tuesday morning at a restaurant in Mymensingh district headquarters.”
Police will now file their final report, mentioning Merina Khatun and her son’s false claim and ill motive in filing the case in September, 2018, he said, adding that they would file another case against the woman and her son for filing a case with false murder claim.
