In a deeply distressing incident, a 21-day-old newborn was abducted from a residence in Habiganj while her parents were asleep.
The grievous incident prompted the family to register a formal complaint with the Habiganj Sadar Model Police Station, as confirmed by Officer-in-Charge Md Badiuzzaman on Monday.
As per the complaint and information gathered from local sources, Babul Mia and Liza Begum reside in a home situated in Habiganj’s Haripur area. The couple shared their dwelling with their 3-year-old son, Rabiul Mia, and their 21-day-old daughter, Fatema.
The unsettling turn of events unfolded when Liza Begum awoke the following morning, only to realize that their precious newborn, Fatema, was conspicuously absent from her resting place on the bed. Liza observed that the window in their room had been left open, adding to the mystery.
Fearing the worst, Babul Mia wasted no time and promptly filed a complaint with the local police station on Sunday night after his frantic search for the missing infant proved futile.
Authorities swiftly responded to the complaint, dispatching a dedicated police team to the residence. The investigation into this heart-wrenching incident has been initiated and is currently underway.
