“We will hunt the culprits down after identifying them from the videos,” Badda Police Station Sub-Inspector Sohrab Hossain told bdnews24.com on Sunday. Angry locals, who gathered outside on hearing that “a child abductor has been caught”, later snatched her away and lynched her, according to Inspector Abdur Razzak. Police responded immediately but the woman died before they arrived, according to the inspector. The body was taken to her ancestral home in Laxmipur for burial on Sunday, her relative Nasir Uddin Tito told bdnews24.com. In a warning issued on Saturday, police reminded the people that killing someone suspected to be an abductor in mob beating is a crime.
