Bangladesh Begins Search For Missing Assam Woman

Times of India · india

Bangladesh's home ministry has launched a search for 43-year-old Mumtaz Begum from Assam, who went missing after being sent to Bangladesh on June 13-14. Dhaka awaits official communication from India regarding the case. The Gauhati High Court had previously directed India's MEA to locate Mumtaz and bring her back, also ordering interim compensation for her husband. The court criticized her expulsion without informing her family, violating due process. Efforts are underway in Bangladesh to find her, with appeals published in local newspapers.
