Son of Rahima Begum, the Khulna resident who made news after “going missing” as claimed by her family, has given a statement, claiming that his mother planned the whole “abduction drama” herself, reports UNB.
Superintendent of Khulna PBI, Syed Mushfiqur Rahman said that Rahima’s son Mohammad Miraj Al Shadi went to Khulna Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) office on Monday afternoon and was sent to the court after he said he wanted to give a statement regarding the abduction case of his mother.
According to Shadi’s statement, his mother was not abducted, rather she “went into hiding willingly”. He claimed she had done this several times before too. This time, she did it to implicate the people with whom she is involved in a land dispute, he said.
PBI SP Mushfiqur said the investigation report in the case will be submitted this month after some more necessary information is gathered.
“Before Rahima went missing, someone sent money to her bKash number. We are trying to identify who sent it and why,” he added.
Shadi said he has no idea where Rahima is at the moment and will take legal steps to break all ties with her after PBI submits a report in the case.
Meanwhile, Rahima’s daughter Mariam Mannan said she also has no information on her mother’s whereabouts and asked correspondents to contact her younger sister, Aduri, or brother Shadi in this regard.
Khulna correspondent contacted Aduri. She said that Rahima is with her, and journalists can come to her home and verify.
