A minor girl has been abducted along with valuables during a robbery in Azimpur in the capital on Friday morning.
A woman, who was renting a room in the house, brought several outsiders with her and entered the house, carrying out the robbery.
Jasim Uddin, Deputy Commissioner of the Lalbagh division, said that the child's mother's name is Farzana Akter, who works as a stenographer at the Ministry of Home Affairs' Security Service Division.
She resides in a rented house near Lalbagh Tower in Azimpur, while her husband works at a private company.
DC Jasim Uddin further said that Farzana has a female subtenant in her house. This woman, along with three others, arrived at the house at around 9:30am on Friday.
They then got into an altercation with Farzana, during which they slapped her.
Subsequently, they took away various household goods, along with Farzana's child.
He added that the CCTV footage shows three individuals entering the house, but it is not clear if the child was taken as well.
No formal complaint has been filed yet, but the incident has become widely known, and several police teams are working to apprehend the perpetrators.
Meanwhile, a colleague of Farzana posted a photo of the child on Facebook, saying: "A robbery occurred at my colleague Farzana's house in Azimpur Medical Staff Quarter, next to Lalbagh Tower. The robbers, consisting of one woman and two men, took away her belongings and her only child."
