Police have rescued two missing schoolgirls, Afsana (13) and Asha Moni (11), from Dhaka ten days after they disappeared from Gopalpur village in Bogarchar Union of Bakshiganj upazila, Jamalpur. The rescue took place on Thursday night with the assistance of Shah Ali Police Station, who helped Bakshiganj police recover the girls from a government shelter center in Mirpur. The girls had reportedly left home on June 17 in search of jobs after being influenced by a friend.

According to the report, the girls wandered around Mirpur after failing to find employment. Locals, suspecting something unusual, questioned them and learned they had been deceived. They were then placed under the care of the Mirpur government shelter center. Following legal procedures, police handed the girls over to their families. Afsana is an eighth-grade student at Gopalpur Co-operative Girls High School, while Asha Moni studies at a local Noorani madrasa.

The families, who had filed a missing persons complaint with Bakshiganj police, expressed relief after their daughters were safely returned home.
