Khulna Missing Case: ‘The abduction was orchestrated’

Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI), after completing the investigation of a case filed over a woman, Rahima Begum, going missing in Khulna, found that the supposed abduction was orchestrated by her daughter. It disclosed the findings to this correspondent yesterday.

According to PBI, 25 days before Rahima went missing, she went to her daughter Moriom Mannan's house in Dhaka's Bashundhara, where the two came up with the plot.

On August 27 afternoon, Moriom sent Tk 1,000 to her mother in Khulna via mobile banking, out of which, Rahima cashed Tk 980 out.

On August 28, Rahima's other daughter Aduri Akhter filed a case with the police station, where she accused five of Rahima's neighbours of kidnapping her. 

Inspector Abdul Mannan of Khulna PBI and investigation officer of the case said there was a land dispute between Rahima's family and the accused neighbours.

"Legal action has been recommended against Aduri and Moriom. The exemption of the five neighbours has also been recommended," added Mannan.
