Hindu housewife turns into sex slave in Bangladesh
Islamists kidnap
her again for daring to protest
On April 20,
2014, at night, a group of Muslim radicals abducted a Hindu housewife from the Satanipara
area in the city of Sherpur, Dhaka division in Bangladesh and even if her
husband lodged an official complaint on the following day to the local police
station, she is yet to be found. In accordance with sources and also content of
the complaint, the Hindu housewife had been kidnapped a few days back also and
then she was made victim to sexual assaults. The entire activity was recorded in
a camera and she was also warned that any exposure of this would cost lives of
her husband and children. Even if she requested the Islamists to render
clemency to her hapless family, she was declined at every time. Some of the
culprits agreed to return the video footage later on; an amount of 4.5 lakh
taka (currency in Bangladesh) was collected from the Hindu family also. However,
the video footage was not returned. When the radical Muslims demanded another
(large) amount of money, the victim Hindu family filed an official complaint to
the local administration that perturbed the Islamists a lot. They started to threaten
the Hindu family of worst consequences through telephone.
On the fateful
day or April 20, 2014, the Hindu housewife, desolate in every sense of the
term, went to meet the doctor at Zaman Health Complex in the town at 8 pm. The culprits
had the necessary info of her arrival beforehand and were waiting for her only.
Once the Hindu housewife appeared there, she was kidnapped in a weird style (as
found in motion pictures), put in a microbus and was carried way. Later on, Islamists
threatened the housewife’s husband through her mobile phone that any more communication
to administration would be disastrous for remaining members of the family. Even
if Mehedul Karim, Superintendent of Police, has assured to retrieve the Hindu housewife,
locals are convinced that her fate is sealed for eternity.
The situation in
Bangladesh is such that no Hindu can depend on administration for justice. No less
than 100 incidents of Hindu persecutions have taken place between January and April,
2014 and in no case either the torturers have been grabbed or taken into custody.
The following three incidents do reflect the same scenario as well. Islamists in
each of these cases are roaming freely.
On January 26, 2014, armed cadres
of Jamaat-e-Islami kidnapped, gang raped and then killed Sumita Balao, a Hindu
woman living at Suripara in the Kashinath Union Council, sub-district: Jaldhaka
in the district of Dhaka. Sushila Rani, another Hindu woman from Doapara in the
same area had the same fate too.
On January 4, 2014, Gauri
Sutradhar, minority Hindu girl (age 20), was kidnapped, gang raped and also
murdered by a few Islamists. The gruesome incident took place at the
sub-district headquarter of Kaligunj in the district of Gazipur.
On
January 27, 2014, Chaitanya Mandal, a minority Hindu ex-military man, was
attacked in his own chemist shop in Magura market within the Abhoynagar in the
district of Jessore. Hundreds of cadres of Jamaat-e-Islami with lethal weapons encircled
the shop and chopped him repeatedly. After it, petrol was sprinkled on Chaitanya
Mandal, the shutter of the shop was closed and he was burnt to death. The
horrific incident has created a terror in the area.
Hindu Samhati regularly
monitors and reports violations against Hindus in West Bengal. We also work
with both governmental and NGO agencies for proper education on protection and
ensure remedies to the Hindu populace as per prevailing law of the land.
