But Sushil's son-in-law Bhushan Chandra tried to convince his father-in-law to arrange Lucky's marriage with his younger brother Bhabesh Chandra. As Sushil refused to agree with his proposal, Bhushan planned to kidnap Lucky.

He along with his accomplices went to Sushil's house in two microbuses. They abducted Lucky and tried to flee with her. Local people chased the microbuses.

In the meantime, local member of parliament (MP) Begum Rowshan Ershad was on her return journey after visiting her constituency on board a vehicle. Her driver created a barricade with the vehicle.

At this stage, Rawshan Ershad made a phone call to the Superintendent of Police (SP), Gaibandha. He sent police to the spot and recovered the girl. Police arrested all 21 abductors and recovered a toy pistol and deadly weapons from their possession.
