Tortured, driven out for dowry, Rima doesn't know what to do now

Our Correspondent, Mymensingh
Tortured by husband and inlaws, a dowry victim took shelter at her father's house and now passing days amid fear, agony and uncertainty.
As Sohel Miah and his family members could not realise dowry money from the mother of Rima Akhter, they allegedly chained her and shaved her head on December 4 night, said Md Kamal Hossain, officer in-charge of Pagla police station in Gafargaon upazila.
According to police and the victim, Rima, daughter of late Chandu Miah of Belobo village under the PS was married off to Sohel of the same village four years ago.
Sohel's family took landed property and cash of around Tk 1,60,000 as dowry, said police, quoting Rima that the couple were blessed with a daughter two years ago.
When Sohel married another girl at Masterbari in Bhaluka five months ago without the consent of Rima, he started torturing Rima allegedly with a plan to drive her out.
Recently Sohel demanded a fresh amount of Tk three lakh from Rima and threatened to drive her out of the house if she failed to meet the demand, said police.
As Rima declined, Sohel and his family members beat up Rima several times, they said.
Following an altercation over the demanded dowry, Sohel, his mother Shahor Banu, sister Kulsum Begum and sister-in-law Kalpona Akhtar on December 4 night chained Rima and shaved
her hair and confined her to a room.
On information, local people rescued Rima the next morning and caught Sohel red-handed.
Later, they handed over Sohel to village police but some influential locals freed him from them, said the OG.
Rima along with her daughter is now living at her parents house amid untold misery.
"I do not know what to do now", Rima told this correspondent.
Contacted, Selim Ahmed, chairman of local Moshakhali union parishad termed it a heinous crime and said that the culprits must be brought to book.
Rima filed a case with Pagla police station, accusing nine people including Sohel and his mother ShahorBanu.
