On the night of May 28, Nasir and four of his associates made an attempt to abduct the girl, the GD said. The attempt was foiled when Mili and other members of her family raised a hue and cry for help.

While fleeing, the Jubo Dal activists clubbed Mili, James and Namita and threatened them with death, the GD said.
