Woman held with arms in Gopalganj
Police yesterday noon arrested two women from a restaurant at Gopalganj town and recovered one pistol and three bullets from them.
Police sub-inspector Hashemuzzaman arrested Shahana Begum, 35, and Aduri Begum, 20, from Shampa Snacks. The two are sisters in-law and are from Banogram in Muksudpur upazila.
Police said the two women were arrested on a tip-off that they were carrying arms.
However, Shahana alleged in presence of journalists at Sadar police station that she was not in good terms with her husband businessman Hasan Sarder of Bherarhat of Gopalganj town.
Shahana said her husband tactfully took away her property and threatened to hand her over to police. She alleged that Hasan took her to Shampa Snacks on the plea of meeting their only daughter there. He then tactfully got her arrested by police along with the arms, she alleged.
She said the vanity bag from which police recovered the arms did not belong to her.
But sub-inspector Hashemuzzaman said arms and bullets were recovered from Shahana Begum's vanity bag.
However, Gopalganj additional police superintendent Rokanuzzaman said he will look into the allegations made by Shahana.
