Four girls went missing simultaneously after leaving their homes for school at Bauphal upazila of Patuakhali district.
The incident has led to filing a General Diary (GD) with Bauphal Police Station.
According to the GD and family sources, Sanjida Akter, 12, left her home at Nazirpur area around 9:30 AM on May 10, purportedly for school. When she didn’t return after classes ended, her family began a frantic search and came to know that three other local students, Ayesha Akter, 13, Ismat Jerin Sajnin, 12 and Sanjida Akter Raisa, 14, had also disappeared during the same timeframe.
