Jubo Mohila League leader arrested for torturing teenage girl

Staff Reporter  :
Police on Saturday arrested Jubo Mohila League leader Mehnaz Mishu on charge of different allegations including attempt to photograph a teenage girl after stripping off and torturing her in Dhaka’s Savar area.

Jubo Mohila League, however, expelled the leader from the organisation.

She was arrested from her home near the local upazila parishad around on Saturday morning.

It is learnt that though she is the joint general secretary of Dhaka district (north) Jubo Mohila League unit but now Mehnaz Mishu has long been identifying herself as the acting general secretary of the unit.

Savar Police said mother of the victim girl filed a written complaint with the police station on Saturday morning mentioning various abuses including the attempt to photograph the girl, stripping her naked.

On the basis of that complaint, police detained her in the morning.

In this regard, Jubo Mohila League president Daisy Sarwar told the media, “I’m not personally acquainted with Mehnaz Mishu.

However, after learning that she was identifying herself as the acting general secretary of Dhaka district (north) Jubo Mohila League by forging my signature, she was given a warning, notifying the local parliament member. Mehnaz Mishu is not a part of our organisation.”

Savar model police station inspector (operation) Nayan Karkun said that Mehnaz Mishu has been arrested on Sunday morning in the case filed by the victim’s mother under the Women and Children Repression Prevention Act.
