Facts of the case: -

Ms. Annaya Sarkar (17) is only daughter of her parents studying Class X as student at Juliokuri High School at Madaripur district.  The perpetrator Mohammad Rana used to tease Ms. Annaya every now and then from his mobile number -01914876934 to Mobile number 01952791453 belonging to Ms.Annaya. On the date of occurrence on 03.05.2014 while Ms.Annaya went to sit for examination on the way she was kidnapped by Mohammad Rana and others at about 12.45 minutes by a micro bus and decamped.  Father of the victim – Adaita Sarkar lodged first information report (FIR) at Madaripur Sadar police station for her rescue and BDMW was also informed about the news of kidnapping.  As soon as we have been given to understand by the local people that the victim Hindu girl would be rendered forceful conversion to Muslim, we approached the local government and local police officers to rescue the victim girl.  I had already taken initiative to recover the girl and to arrest the perpetrators.

Mobarak Hussain – Sub Inspector of Police took initiative tracking the mobile number of the concerned perpetrators and recovered the victim girl from Dhaka on 07.06.2014, but the perpetrator has not yet been arrested.

Bangladesh Minority Watch is very much happy with the local police for tracing out the victim girl and very much unhappy as the perpetrators have not yet been arrested. Md. Mofazzel Hussain, Officer in Charge of Madaripur Police station handed over a copy of F.I.R. being case No.24 dated 10.05.14 under section 7/30 of Women and Children Repression Act, 2003.

Bangladesh Minority Watch is deeply concerned about frequent abduction and kidnapping of minority girl from different locations of Bangladesh and we demand immediate arrest of the perpetrators responsible for forceful marriage, trafficking, conversion by way allurement or by inducement.

With best regards,
