Shampa, a 10-year-old girl, was reunited with her mother Rina Begum and father Sanowar Hossain on Sunday, after a separation of four years. Association for Community Development (ACD), a local NGO, found the family of the child after two and a half years of search and returned her on Sunday. ACD authorities said, a student of Rajshahi University found Shampa crying on a Jessore-Rajshahi train in 2007 and took her to Motihar police station. Later, police sent Shampa to ACD shelter home. The NGO had to work hard to find Shampa's family as she could not give any information about them. Shampa's mother, a housemaid, said, “I am overjoyed to get my daughter back. I left her with my mother and went to work and could not find her since.” The girl went missing from their residence at Gandaria in Dhaka. Police believe Shampa was a victim of kidnapping.
