BIHARSHARIF: A school teacher in his 50s who not only commanded the respect of parents of children who went to his school but also of the entire neighborhood for his good behavior was assaulted by the same people and handed over to police on Tuesday evening when a girl of the locality, who returned home 12 years after she went missing, threw a bombshell that the revered teacher had abducted her and sold her to a brothel owner at Muzaffarpur. She went missing at the tender age of 9.
Daughter of poor parents, Puja Kumari (name changed) had gone missing from Malahbigha locality of Islampur town in Nalanda district some 12 years ago when she was barely 9. The poor parents frantically searched for their daughter but to no avail. They, then, lodged a 'missing' complaint of the minor girl with Islampur PS but with the passage of time, they lost all hope of their daughter ever returning home.
Luck turned for them two days ago when two days back, a young man who identified himself as Manoj Sah from Muzaffarpur visited the unfortunate parents and took them for the identification of the girl who, he said, claimed to be their daughter. The parents did not believe their eyes when they found their daughter alive after so many years.
Puja told the police she was abducted by a teacher of a primary school of the locality, Qasim Ahmad, who kept her confined in a house in Nabinagar village under Ekangarsarai PS area of Nalanda district for two months before selling her in the red light area in Muzaffarpur where she was physically and emotionally exploited for years. She claimed to have married the informant of her parents, Manoj Sah, some three years ago and had a child from him who, she said, is in the teacher's custody. She has also named the teacher's wife, Chanda Khatoon, their daughter Rehana and son-in-law Munna Mian as having conspired for taking her child.
The other accused have not been arrested as the police said it is a matter of investigation but the disgraced teacher was sent to judicial custody on Wednesday.Link: Teacher accused of pushing girl into flesh trade
