Body of a child, abducted on Monday night, was recovered from a ditch at Sarabari village in Ghatail upazila yesterday. Victim Sumaiya, 3, was daughter of Hanif Uddin of the village. In absence of Hanif, a gang of criminals stormed into his house at midnight on Monday. They tied up Hanif's wife Farida Begum and abducted Sumaiya, police and family sources said. An abduction case was filed with Ghatail Police Station the following day. Locals found Sumaiya's body in a ditch and informed the police who recovered the body and sent it to Tangail General Hospital morgue for autopsy. “The incident is mysterious because Sumaiya's parents claimed that they had no previous enmity with anyone,' said the officer-in-charge of Ghatail Police Station.
