Jamal Ibne Musa

The efforts of reuniting a trafficked Indian boy with his family continue bringing on sufferings to Jamal Ibne Musa, who is dubbed the real-life “Bajrangi Bhaijaan”, and his family.

After the news of Musa's noble initiative made headlines in the Bangladesh media, a relative of the alleged abductors of the New Delhi boy named Sonu filed a case against Musa and six of his relatives on Sunday.

Police yesterday arrested Nanna Khalifa, brother-in-law of Musa, in connection with the case.

The case was filed by Hasi Begum, the elder sister of Aklima Begum and Rahima Begum who, according to Musa and an official at Jessore Kishore Unnayan Kendra where Sonu is now staying, tricked Sonu and brought him to Bangladesh from India in 2010.

The two sisters are from Barguna's Betagi upazila. They have relatives in New Delhi.

Musa yesterday told The Daily Star over the phone, “Our lives have been ruined just for trying to send back an abducted boy to his parents in India.” He wanted their sufferings to end.

Musa's son Ferdaus Hossain said they left home in fear of arrest in the false case.

Betagi Police Station's Sub-inspector Abdul Jalil said Nanna was arrested for assaulting a woman on April 11. The case was filed on Sunday night by the woman's daughter Hasi Begum.

The officer, however, refused to talk to this correspondent further.

This is not the first time that Musa faced cases. Earlier, the abductor's family members filed four cases against Musa and his relatives. Musa spent 41 days in jail in two phases and lost his job.

But nothing could deter the 52-year-old man from Barguna from making all the arrangements to reunite Sonu with his family in New Delhi. After getting released on bail, he went to New Delhi and traced the parents of Sonu there.

Earlier, Musa informed the police about the alleged torture of the boy by the “abductor's family members”. As police did not pay heed to his appeal, he took the boy to a Barguna court and the court sent him to the juvenile correction centre on December 22 last year.

After the news spread, both the Indian and Bangladesh government took initiatives to reunite the boy with his family members and the process is underway.
