The arrested are Md. Bellal Hossain (25) and Md. Faisal Ahmed (22), who were recently accused in the kidnapping of businessman Shivanand Roy Banik and robbery at his establishment. Bellal Hossain had come to the area after being released on bail last week in a robbery-kidnapping case.

When they became unconscious, they lifted their daughter and took her to a nearby pond and brutally tortured her. The accused left after threatening her not to tell anyone. When the victim came home crying, the others in the house woke up. Then the victim told the family about the accused Bellal and Faisal. After remaining unconscious all night, the victim and her parents were taken to the hospital in an unconscious state in the morning.
In this regard, Assistant Superintendent of Police (Baufal Circle) Arif Muhammad Shakur said, “A complaint of torture has been received. The victim’s entire family is sick in the hospital. The victim’s physical examination is underway. We will take legal action in view of the family’s complaint. Two suspects in the incident have been detained.
