Lavu's wife said they had married five years back. Three years into their marriage, Lavu asked her to travel with him to India.

In India, Lavu sold her to human traffickers, she claimed, adding that she managed to flee and return to Bangladesh about two months ago.

She said he also sold about five other women to human traffickers.   

After she learned that Lavu came back to Bangladesh, she filed a complaint with Benapole Port Police Station.
