Six young men were arrested in Feni for allegedly attempting to abduct a madrasa student while posing as police officers. The arrests took place on Tuesday, April 7, in front of a madrasa in the Panchgachia Union of Feni Sadar Upazila. The suspects were sent to court the following day, Wednesday, April 8.

According to Feni Model Police Station’s investigation officer Sajal Kanti Das, the youths had stationed themselves near the madrasa with a microbus displaying a police sticker. Locals became suspicious and alerted the police, who quickly arrived and detained the group. The student’s father later filed a case at the police station that same night.

During interrogation, the detainees reportedly admitted that they planned to abduct the student after she rejected a romantic proposal. They used the police sticker on their vehicle to intimidate locals and disguise their intentions.
