In an alarming incident reported from the hill district of Bandarban, a four-month-old infant has allegedly been kidnapped due to a monetary dispute. The victim has been identified as little Marufa Jannat Mahi, whose safety and whereabouts have become the central focus of a tense local investigation in Naikhongchhari.
According to the verified details of the case, the distressing sequence of events culminated in official police involvement on August 22, 2026. On that date, the mother of the abducted child, Yasmin Akhtar, stepped forward to seek legal intervention. She formally submitted a written complaint to the officers at the Naikhongchhari police station, officially documenting the crime.
The police complaint specifically names four individuals as being allegedly responsible for the abduction of the four-month-old infant. While the official document details the names of Rashid Ullah, Shafi Ullah, Khaleda Begum, and Md. Alam, the broader network of individuals connected to the case also includes Mozammel Haque, Trisha, and Mostafizur Rahman.
Investigators looking into the abduction have identified a specific financial motive behind the crime. The core of the dispute centers around a substantial sum of money, specifically pegged at 120,000 taka, which is reportedly owed and serves as the primary catalyst for the illegal detention of the young baby.
The gravity of the extortion attempt was further underscored by Mostafizur Rahman, who shed light on the ongoing communications with the captors. Providing insight into the demands being made by the perpetrators, Mostafizur Rahman stated, "My sister had a financial transaction with the kidnappers. Even on Tuesday, there was communication with them over the phone regarding this matter. They are demanding money. They are saying they will hand over the child only if the money is paid."
As authorities in Naikhongchhari continue to process the written complaint filed by Yasmin Akhtar on August 26, 2026, the community remains deeply concerned for the safety of infant Marufa Jannat Mahi.
