Two young men were arrested on Thursday night on charge of kidnapping two teenage girls at Bakdokra Dangapara village in Domar upazila. The arrested persons are Hamidul Islam, 25, of Jadurhat Berabhanga village in Sadar upazila and Mahazin Hossain, 24, of Panialpukur village in Kishoreganj upazila. Locals said, Munni, 14, a student of class VII and daughter of Abul Hossain of Bakdokra Dangapara village, fell in love with Mahazin after they came to know each other over mobile phone. After some days, Mahazin tactfully picked up Munni and her friend Parvin, 14, daughter of Zahurul Islam and took them to the house of Hamidul of nearby Berabhanga village while the girls were returning home from their school. They confined the two in the house for 16 days. On secret information, family members of Munni and Parvin rescued them on November 30. Later, they also caught Mahazir and Hamidul on December 3 and handed them over to police. A case was filed in this connection.
