Mamta Begum left Bangladesh for Kuwait 25 years ago in the hopes of earning a living. Two years ago, her daughter Swarnalata also joined her there to earn a livelihood.
In a cruel twist of fate, Ejaz Ahmed, Mamta’s only son living in Bangladesh, came to know that both his mother and sister were murdered on Friday hundreds of miles away in Kuwait.
Ejaz, now the only remaining member of the family, wants a fair trial for the murder of his mother and sister, as he spends his time waiting for their bodies to arrive in Bangladesh.
“My mother went to Kuwait to earn a livelihood. She managed to get a job in the school division of the government. She took my sister Swarnalata there two years ago. My sister got a job at a private organization,” Ejaz said.
Since Tuesday afternoon, Ejaz found both his mother and sister’s phones turned off. Eventually on Friday night, he received the news that Kuwait police had recovered their bloody bodies from the house they lived in, in Kuwait.
“Mother had kept Tk10 lakh at their house in Kuwait for sending here. She was supposed to send that money on Tuesday.
“Also, on Friday my sister was supposed to get married to an expatriate named Rabiul, from Jessore, who lives there,” Ejaz continued.
