When the parents realised their children were missing, Khokon Mia, father of Khushi, filed an abduction case. Using technology, Sub-Inspector Saiful Alam and Sitakunda Police traced the suspects to Faujdarhat, where the children were rescued.
The arrested individuals are under investigation, and further action will follow the court's remand decision.
