Stalking stops her schooling

A 13-year-old JSC examinee has stopped going to school for the last couple of months due to frequent life threat from two local 'stalkers'.

Family members questioned the law enforcers' role as they are yet to arrest the stalkers while they are roaming freely in the town.

Meanwhile, Emdad Hossain, officer-in-charge of Sadar Police Station, said they are trying to arrest the youths by deploying two police officers in the area.

The accused are Robin, 18, son of Meruj Hossain, and Shuvechchha, 19, son of Bablu Mia of Uttar Chelopara area in the town.

The eighth grader of Katnarpara Central Girls' School stopped going to school for over 45 days due to constant stalking on her way to the institution.

On February 25, the girl went to school, and on her way back home the duo threatened her with sharp weapons. They also threatened to burn her face with acid, alleged family members. 

Victim's grandfather Afzal Hossain said the stalkers also threatened her family members, showing them sharp weapons, in broad daylight.

"Although we informed police about the matter several times, they are yet to take any action against the stalkers, who are moving freely in the area," Afzal said.  

ASP Sonatan Chakrabarty said they will take action against the accused within 24 hours.
