7 Children Stealing
Arrest warrant against ex-DIG, wife
A Dhaka court yesterday issued arrest warrants against former deputy inspector general of police (DIG) and his wife in connection with a case filed against them for stealing seven children in 2006.
The accused are ex-DIG Anisur Rahman and his wife Anwara Rahman.
Judge AKM Shamsul Islam of the Fourth Special Tribunal for Prevention of Women and Children Repression passed the order as they failed to appear before it on six consecutive dates.
The court also fixed October 19 for hearing on arguments of the case. Earlier, the court recorded statements of two prosecution witnesses including complainant of the case.
Advocate Alena Khan, the then executive director of Bangladesh Society for the Enforcement of Human Rights (BSEHR), filed a case on June 15 in 2006 with Badda police against Anisur Rahman and his wife.
According to the prosecution, the complainant alleged that the couple had stolen seven children from different places and kept those in their custody for trafficking abroad.
