Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) has said that the disappearance of Rahima Begum, who was found alive in Faridpur, was not an incident of “abduction”, reports UNB.
“We did not find any evidence of abduction from her house in Khulna’s Daulatpur,” SP Syed Mushfiqur Rahman of PBI Khulna said on Wednesday.
“We are still investigating the case and action will be taken if Rahima Begum had made false accusations about her disappearance,” the PBI official said.
Meanwhile, family members of those arrested in the case have claimed that Rahima Begum’s daughter Moriom Mannan is the “mastermind” behind the mysterious disappearance.
They said that if Moriom and others involved in the incident are questioned, truth will be revealed.
On September 25, 2022, Rahima Begum, who remained “missing” for 29 days, was handed over to her family after her statement was recorded in the court.
Later, she was taken to her younger daughter Aduri Akter’s house in Khulna’s Boyra area, said plaintiff’s lawyer Afruzzaman Tutul.
In her statement, Rahima provided detailed information on being “abducted over land dispute”.
She said she was abducted and taken to Chattogram. From there, she went to Faridpur on her own.
