Schoolteacher held in abduction case sent to jail

Staff Correspondent
Schoolteacher Marjina, an accused in a case for abduction of four children, was sent to the Dhaka Central Jail yesterday.

The Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court, Dhaka, rejected her bail petition when she was produced before it on expiry of a two-day remand.

The investigation officer (IO) of the case said yesterday there are evidences that the schoolteacher was involved in anti-social activities at her residence at Shantinagar. Some women who worked as her domestic help had earlier told police she used to force them to engage in immoral activities, he added.

The IO however said he was yet to get any evidence that Marjina had links with any trafficking syndicate.
