A ghostly family story

The girl had eaten rice and slept at night. Her parents were also in the next room. Then around midnight, her parents called the girl, saying, "Jannati, Jannati."

She woke up and said, "Let's go out for a while."

The girl was sleepy-eyed and surprised. She kept asking where she was going at this time of night. Her parents insisted on going out without giving any answer.

Since her parents were telling her to, the girl did not say no. She went out with them with sleep in her eyes and curiosity.

After going a little far, the girl noticed that her aunt Shahina Begum was also going with them. The girl thought that maybe they were all going together for some important work.

But after going a little far, the girl noticed that her parents were leaving the road of the house and heading towards the agricultural land.

The girl was surprised and wanted to know why they had come here. But her parents and aunt told her to be quiet. The girl's eyes still had a sleepy look on their faces.

After a while, they came close to a corn field. Even after coming here, she was curious and wanted to ask her parents and aunt why they had come here so late at night.

But before that, they grabbed Jannati's hands and face from behind so that she could not scream. Then they hit her head and body hard with a rod.

The girl wanted to run but could not because of the sudden blow.

Then her parents and aunt Shahina Begum together started beating the girl with sharp sticks. The girl was very weak at that time, only moaning in intense pain.

The three of them kept beating the girl continuously, blood spread everywhere. Then the girl died there.

As part of the previous plan, the parents and aunt killed the girl and left her to eat the corn. This incident happened on Saturday.

The next morning, when the local farmers went to work in the field, they found Jannati's body there.

After seeing the body, they searched for their parents. They came and played the role of crying for a long time so that no one would understand.

Then the girl's uncle and parents filed a case against 27 neighbors. Then the police immediately arrested those neighbors and started questioning them.

But the police could not solve anything. Everyone was denying it. The police questioned them more forcefully but it did not work.

Two days later, the police conducted an autopsy on the body and found some clues. Based on that clue, the police brought the girl's parents and uncle and aunt to the police station for questioning.

As soon as they arrived at the police station, they started testifying against those neighbors and asked them to be hanged.

The parents kept saying repeatedly that those neighbors had killed my daughter. But the police ignored them and started continuing their normal investigation.

At one point, when they started questioning them vigorously and brought out the clues, aunt Shahina Begum confessed to the police that they had killed the girl on Saturday night.

The parents still did not confess. But after Aunt Shahina Begum's confession, the parents also realized that there was no other way to save her.

Then the girl's father Zahidul Islam and mother Morsheda Begum also confessed that the three of them had brutally killed the girl.

Then when asked about the reason for the killing, they said that they had killed their daughter to frame their rival neighbors.

They had been in a dispute with their neighbors over a 32-bigha piece of land for a long time. So Aunt Shahina Begum gave them a plan to kill their daughter and leave her on that land.

Then they would file a case in the name of the neighbors.

In this way, if the neighbors were jailed in the case, they could easily seize the 32-bigha piece of land and make it their own.

That is why they filed a case in the name of 27 neighbors so that everyone in the family would be jailed.

These confessions were collected by the Officer-in-Charge of Kurigram Sadar Police Station, Md. Habibullah, and verified and authenticated.

Moreover, the police have also taken a confession from the parents about how the girl was killed.

The girl, Jannati, is not very old, only 15 years old. She was studying in class nine.

Everyone in the village was very surprised by this incident and was crying in grief for the girl, saying - the girl's behavior was very good.

The girl's school teacher and classmates also said - the girl was very good at studies. If she had lived, she would have given the SSC exam next year. Maybe she would have even achieved a good result.

There are many couples around us who cannot have children, so they spend their days running from hospital to hospital. How much they cry for a child.

But for a small piece of land, the cheerful girl Jannati had to be killed by her own parents and aunt.
