ACTION TAKEN BY BDMW:
As per appeal filed by father and mother of victim I on behalf of BDMW communicated with Md.Saiful Islam-Superintendent of Police -Barguna District and Md.Shah Newaz- Officer in Charge of Patharghata police station for legal assistance and accordingly our representative from Barisal was requested to investigate the matter and for immediate reuse of the Vitim- Kona Rani . But it is unfortunate that the police was found very much negligent to apprehend the criminals to justice and for recovery of the victim since after 13 days of her kidnapping.
I, also talked with mother and father of the victim over his cell number 01725297370 who cried loudly and requested us to rescue t heir beloved daughter - Ms.Kona Rani from the clutches of perpetrators.

I again requested the law enforcing agencies of Borguna Administration and urged upon them to rescue the victim girl from the possession of the kidnapers. Md. Shah Newaz- Officer in charge of Patharghata gave me to understand that due to love affairs occurrence took place and he is trying to rescue the victim, but the statements made by Md.Shah Newaz without asking the victim or arresting the perpetrators it was a love affairs ?

a} to rescue the victim with utmost sincerity.
b) The perpetrators should be arrested soon to put them in custody for trial in the court.
c) The officer in charge of Patharghata Police station should be asked to be more impartial in deciding the matter whether it was love or forceful conversion ?
