2 abducted girls still untraced
Two schoolgirls, kidnapped in Sadar upazila last month, are yet to be rescued.
The victims, daughters of Nazrul Islam and late Biplob Sheikh of Gobra village, are students of class four and class five at a local school.
Family members said one Salim Mollah, Rashed Mollah, Monirul Mollah and Shimul of the village and Alam Sheikh of Agdia and Kajol Ali of Boro Achra village in Benapole, intercepted the two cousins on their way to relative's house and abducted them on January 3.
Biplob's wife filed a case with Sadar police station in connection with the incident on January 12. But the law enforcers are yet to take any steps to rescue the duo a month into the abduction, they alleged.
The plaintiff said Salim Mollah, a member of human traffickers' gang, lured many women and took them to India. “Salim abducted my daughter and niece as I rejected his proposal to marry my daughter a few months ago”.
Meanwhile, the kidnappers were threatening us that they would kill the duo if we did not withdraw the case, she said.
Contacted, the duty officer at the police station, said they were trying to rescue the schoolgirls.
