Militant Suspect Trisha: She called her parents during police raid
[Bangla Daily Star] Parents of Trisha Moni had been waiting to hear from her for eight long months. They finally heard from her early Saturday, but they had no idea what trouble she was into.Trisha, wife of “Neo JMB” leader Maynul Islam, was then in the middle of a police raid at their Ashkona hideout. “At 3:30am [Saturday], I saw a missed call on my mobile phone,” said Trisha's father Abdus Samad. He thought the call came from a Bagmara hospital where his wife was admitted due to her illness. He called back immediately. “Abba, can you recognise me ... I'm Trisha,” she told her father. “I felt a chill down my spine as I talked to her. We've been looking for them [Trisha and her family] for so many months,” Samad told this correspondent. Trisha told her father that police had cordoned off their house for their involvement with “Neo JMB” and asked him what she should do. “I began shivering with fear when I heard about her links with militancy. I asked her to surrender before the police and tell them the truth,” said Samad, a fish trader, at his Saipara village home, around 40km from Rajshahi city. He said Trisha was crying and suddenly hung up the phone. Hours later, she surrendered along with her four-month-old daughter. Trisha again called him on Saturday evening and said she was in police custody. Two hours later, a police officer called him and asked him to go to Dhaka with clothes and food for Trisha's daughter, he said. Posted by: Fred 2016-12-29 |
