Kurigram waits to welcome abducted Arifa
BSS, Fulbari, Kurigram
Locals at Fulbari upazila in Kurigram and relatives of two-year old abducted Bangladeshi girl Arifa are eagerly waiting for her quick homecoming following an order of a Kutchbihar court in West Bengal on handing over the breast-fed baby to Bangladesh mission in Kolkata. Kurigram district administration officials yesterday said they were waiting for directives from Dhaka to receive the baby who would be officially handed over to her parents on her arrival from Kolkata. Arifa was at the centre of public attention over the past one month since an Indian smuggler abducted her from her frontier Naodanga village home in Kurigram district. The Border Security Force and Kutchbihar police rescued the girl child on a request from Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) and held her abductor. But cross-border legal complications delayed her return.
