On receiving information, the police recovered the decomposed body of Arifa Akter from a water body in the area at around 9:00pm.

Arifa, daughter of Alamgir Hossain and Jasmine Begum, had been missing since June 11. Her mother was not at home when the abductors picked her up from her house at Commissioner Road.

On June 12, Jasmine Begum filed an abduction case against four people, including her second husband Russell, a scrap metal trader, who has been at large since the abduction.

Police arrested two accused -- Mustafa and Sajib -- but the other accused, Uzzal, went into hiding.

Jasmine said Russell married her after she got divorced from her first husband Alamgir two and a half years ago and that she had two children from her first husband.

But her relationship with Russell turned sour soon after their marriage as he started to force Jasmine to abandon her children, she said.

In the face of continuous pressure, Jasmine had to send her son to his uncle's house one and a half years ago but kept the girl with her.

She said Russell had been threatening to kill her daughter for the last one month.
