On 25 July, a Hindu girl, Anuradha Sen from Bangladesh was abducted and killed by an Islamist, who later posted her picture on Facebook declaring that she was dead. The deceased belonged to the minority community in Nalitabari Upazila of Sherpur, Bangladesh.

The murderer posted a photo from, Sen’s  Facebook account. The caption attached to the post read, “There is no need to find her. She is dead.” The accused is suspected to be Bari Mehdi who had earlier made threatening calls to Anuradha’s brother.

The Islamist called Anuradha’s mother and asked her to send her to the school to collect the funds. In the phone call it was said that the funds were being provided by the government for some special students and Anuradha was chosen.

Meanwhile, the girl’s brother revealed that he had received a similar phone call from a person named Bari Mehdi a few days ago. The person on the other side talked about Anuradha. He said that he had met the girl on Facebook and claimed that he had developed a love affair with her.

“I met your sister on Facebook. Then we became close. Your sister talked a lot with my mother. Now I heard that your sister has a relationship with someone else. It’s not going well. This is not good,” Bari Mehdi said to Anuradha’s brother on phone.

The brother also confirmed to the Police that the call that he had received that day and the call received by his mother asking her to send Anuradha to school for funds had been made from the same number.

Reportedly, he victim had just given her 10th board exams this year from Bankura High School. She was kidnapped by the miscreant who pretended to be calling from her school to provide government funds for her further studies.
