Rahima, her daughters should be punished for staging abduction: PBI
The Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) has recommended punishment for Rahima Begum, and her daughters Mariam Mannan and Aduri Aktar, for staging her own abduction.
The PBI submitted the investigation report to the Metropolitan Magistrate Court on Monday (13 February).
"The investigation did not find any evidence of Rahima's abduction. Rather, the evidence uncovered that her daughter Mariam Mannan helped stage the entire thing to frame their neighbour over a land dispute. Rahima went into hiding herself," Superintendent of Police Syed Mushfiqur Rahman of PBI Khulna said in a media briefing.
