In Chattogram, the police have arrested a young man for kidnapping and killing a neighbor’s five-year-old daughter for ransom.
The Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) said on Friday that 20-year-old Abir Ali allegedly cut the body of Alina Islam Ayat, daughter of Noyarhat resident Sohail Rana, into six pieces and threw her into the sea after strangling her.
Ayat went missing on November 14 after leaving home to recite Arabic at a local mosque. The family filed a general diary with the EPZ police and requested the PBI to trace it.
The PBI suspects Abir’s role as the CCTV camera footage shows that he took the child to his house but Ayat was never seen coming out. Eyewitnesses also said that they saw Ayat with Abir, according to Naeema Sultana, a special superintendent of police in the PBI.
