A female garment worker abducted over three months ago from Gazipur was rescued from Daulatdia brothel at Goalondo in Rajbari in the wee hours of Wednesday.
Police arrested an individual named Parveen Begum in connection to the incident.
Abul Bashar, officer-in-charge of Goalondo police station, said Parveen, a house owner at the brothel, forced the garment worker into prostitution.
The victim’s elder brother Abdul Aziz said his sister was abducted on October 22 while she was returning home after work at Mentex Garment in Gazipur.
Later, on January 13, Abdul Aziz came to know from a source that his sister had been taken to Daulatdia brothel. He then brought the matter into the notice of the Goalondo police station.
Police rescued the garment worker and filed a case against the house owner under the Women and Repression Prevention Act.
The victim’s brother said Emon Sheikh, 25, a colleague of her sister, sold her to the Daulatdia brothel.
