Rahima’s son states ‘abduction’ was planned dra

Son of Rahima Begum, the Khulna resident who made news after “going missing” – as claimed by her family, has given a statement, alleging that his mother planned the whole “abduction drama” herself.

Rahima’s son Mohammad Miraj Al Shadi went to Khulna Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) office Monday afternoon and was sent to the court after he said he wanted to give a statement regarding the abduction case of his mother, Syed Mushfiqur Rahman, Superintendent of Khulna PBI, said.

According to Shadi’s statement, his mother was not abducted, rather she “went into hiding willingly”. She had done this several times before, he claimed. This time, she did it to implicate the people with whom she is involved in a land dispute, he said.

PBI SP Mushfiqur said the investigation report in the case will be submitted this month after some more necessary information is gathered.

“Before Rahima went missing, someone sent money to her bKash number. We are trying to identify who sent it and why,” he added.

Shadi said he has no idea where Rahima is at the moment and will take legal steps to break all ties with her after PBI submits a report in the case.

Meanwhile, Rahima’s daughter Moriom Mannan said she also has no information on her mother’s whereabouts and asked the correspondent to contact her younger sister, Aduri, or brother Shadi in this regard.

After contacting Aduri, she said Rahima is with her, and journalists can come to her home and verify.
