Farzana Akter, daughter of Abul Bashar from Chhanuya village in Feni Sadar upazila, has been missing for 22 days. Her relatives have searched in various places with the help of law enforcement agencies. Police claim they are actively working to locate her, but say the search has been delayed due to non-cooperation from her husband’s family.

According to police and family sources, Farzana married Shahadat, a Dubai expatriate from Cumilla’s Nangalkot upazila, in 2018. Since the marriage, family tensions reportedly arose because of her brother-in-law, Shahporan. Farzana went missing from her in-laws’ house on June 9. Her relatives allege that Shahporan abducted her after she rejected his inappropriate proposal. Farzana’s mother, Sabina Yasmin, accused Shahporan of spreading false stories to cover up the incident.

The report states that despite Farzana’s disappearance since June 9, her husband’s family has not filed a case or general diary. Her parents and aunt have appealed to the Nangalkot police for proper action. Investigating officer SI Ashraf said the police are looking into the matter.
