MALDA, Feb. 24: Police today recovered the body of Mili Bibi (19) from Choto Kamad village under Baishnabnagar police station. The site was close to the victim's in-laws house.
Baishnabnagar police stated that the victim married a migrant labourer, Barkat Ali, a year ago. She returned to her in-laws’ house yesterday, and her husband arrived home from Delhi several days ago. She is believed to have been hacked to death last night. Her body was found this morning. The police have arrested the victim's husband and her father-in law.
In a separate incident, the police recovered a cattle trader in an unconscious state from the banks of the Ganga in Manikchak. Mr Ziaul Haque was believed to have been kidnapped, having been missing since 30 January. He was admitted to Malda district hospital.
Mr Haque's family members lodged a complaint with the police on 7 February against five people allegedly involved with the kidnapping. They claimed to have received a ransom call demanding Rs 30,000 to ensure Mr Haque's safe release. Police have arrested two men, Afjal Sheikh and Sheikh Manna, in connection with the crime. They are currently in search of a third.
According to the police, Haque is a mango trader who was also involved in the cattle trade. “We suspect that his associates kidnapped him over a monetary dispute,” police officials said.
