Give ransom or Girl, orders hoodlums: 50 Christian families of Natoore subjugated by nightmare

Natoore, 7 December: Young women from 50 Christian families of Baraigram upazila at Natoore are living amidst nightmare fearing possible attack from the hoodlums any night. Fear has engulfed them completely, at night, if sounds of motorbikes or Bycycle heard nearby the hut, the fearful women look for hideouts to conceal them in.  The frightened women try to conceal them within the broken huts of poor feeble father. Fifty Christian families live in the Chatianghacha village of Baraigram upazilla, Natoore whose crops have been taken out of the field by the miscreants right after the October 1 election.  The harvest for the year on which those families depend is now at the hands of the miscreants. Now, the miscreants want the young Christian women. They call in the helpless father of the girl of choice. Once the father comes to beg mercy, miscreants order ransom of 10000 to 20000 Taka. The hoodlums also warn if the family is not capable of meeting their demand then they must send their young girl for each night until the miscreants are satisfied.

We talk with Jimi Kuraia of Chatianghacha, looking at us helplessly question, What country is this? Give ransom or girl? We are speechless. According to eyewitness, BNP’s Juba Dal general secretary Sanaullah Nur and his cadres have kept the village in terror for fortnight. They are running a parallel government with rain of terror. They have also build a torture cell at Banpara Bazar within the campus of BNP’s party office. They first torture the victims in their torture cell and than order fine or ransom as they find it appropriate.
Local administration and Police is not yet done anything to safeguard the destitute while writing this report.
