A schoolgirl who was abducted last Sunday by a gang of youths in front of her school gate at Kalmeg village in Baliadangi upazila is yet to be rescued after a week of the incident. Victim Rokshana Pervin,14, is daughter of Rafiqul Islam of Kazibasti village in the same upazila. As soon as Rokshana came out of R Ali High School for taking launch at her house at about 1:30pm on Sunday, about four youths led by Rezaul Islam,26, son of Nazir Uddin of Kazibosti village intercepted her in front of the school gate, family sources said. Then the youths picked up her inside a 'Mishuk' and drove away, they said. However, a school peon, Khalilur Rahman by name witnessed the incident and informed it immediately to the family members and the school authorities. Rokshana's father Rafiqul Islam filed an abduction case with Baliadangi police station on Tuesday afternoon accusing four people including Rezaul. In the case, Rafiqul mentioned that Rezaul is a derailed youth who often teased her daughter. Thakurgaon superintendent of police (SP) visited the spot and ordered a search operation to rescue the girl. Earlier at an arbitration, Rezaul was compelled to give an undertaking to the R Ali School authorities saying he would refrain from disturbing Rokshana.
