Abducted SSC examinee, schoolgirl still traceless

An SSC examinee, who was allegedly abducted in Gowainghat upazila of Sylhet district 15 days ago, still remains traceless.  

The victim is Jakir Hossain, 15, son of local trader Harun-ur-Rashid of Tarukhal village in the upazila. 

He appeared in this year's SSC examinations from Pashchim Jaflong High School, said family sources.

Police said Jakir was allegedly abducted by a gang on March 21 when he was returning from Ratargul Bazar in the upazila.

The victim's father questioned the role of the law enforcers as they are yet to rescue his son in spite of filing a case in this regard.  

Contacted, Abdul Hye, officer-in-charge of Gowainghat Police Station, said they are raiding different areas to rescue Jakir. 

Meanwhile, police are yet to rescue a 15-year-old schoolgirl of Mymensingh district, over two months into her abduction, reports our correspondent.

On January 27, a gang allegedly led by trucker Jahid Hasan, 25, picked up the tenth grader from in front of her house at Raymoni in Trishal upazila.

Earlier, Jahid often teased the girl on her way to school from home, said police and family sources.

A day after the abduction, the victim's father filed a case with Trishal Police Station, accusing Jahid, his father Abul Hossain and some other people in this connection.

The law enforcers then arrested Abul Hossain and produced him before a court that sent him to jail. 

He was later released on bail, said Moniruzzaman, officer-in-charge of the police station.

Police are conducting drives in different areas to rescue the girl, said Sub-Inspector Shamim Al Mamun, investigation officer of the case.
