Police in Nasirnagar, Brahmanbaria, detained a 20-year-old woman named Sumaiya Akter on Thursday morning for allegedly attempting to abduct a five-year-old schoolgirl. The incident occurred around 10 a.m. at Tullapara Government Primary School in Kunda Union. According to school sources, Sumaiya introduced herself as the girl’s aunt and tried to take her from the classroom. The headteacher became suspicious and contacted the child’s mother, who confirmed that the woman was not a relative. The school authorities then handed Sumaiya over to Nasirnagar police.

Police stated that Sumaiya claimed to be from Kishoreganj district and is currently in police custody. Nasirnagar Police Inspector (Investigation) Sohel Shikder said legal action would be taken if the victim’s family or the school filed a written complaint.

The detained woman remains under investigation as police await a formal complaint to proceed with legal measures.
