Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) on Monday handed over four boys and five girls, who left their homes after getting victimized to militancy, to their families as they were earlier rescued, reports BSS.
The 9 youth attracted to the militancy following various contents posted on Facebook and other online sites.
RAB Director General (DG) M Khurshid Hossain formally handed over them to their families at a function titled "Naba Diganter Pathe" held at RAB headquarters in the capital.
The RAB DG congratulated the boys and girls, who returned to the path of light from darkness, with flowers and gifted them with books.
He gave each of them Taka 10,000 in cash.
M Khurshid Hossain said that they would participate in nation building after receiving proper education.
The recovered boys and girls claimed that they left homes to pray in isolation and finally reached a militant camp. Later, they realized their mistake and returned from the militant den. But, as they could not return to the family, they kept roaming in different places.
RAB rescued them on December 22, took them into custody and handed them over to their families through counseling-tasks.
