GUWAHATI: On January 4, Himanta Biswa Sarma, the chief minister of Assam, gave the Dirbugarh police the go-ahead to investigate a possible kidnapping of a Marwari Hindu minor girl who, according to her family, was taken by a Muslim male.
The Assam chief minister's order was made after he became aware of the situation after reading a tweet from a man by the name of Manoj Kumar, who revealed information about the kidnapping of a juvenile girl identified as Dolly Agarwal, 17, a native of Duliajan town in the Dibrugarh district.
The youngster had gone to her tutoring on December 31 and has been missing since then, according to the complaint made by the girl's father Bharat Agarwal.
One of the missing girl's family told the media in an exclusive interview that they had previously filed a missing person complaint. Later, they accused Jahidul Ali, claiming that he might have been responsible for the incident.

However, later we learn that one Jahidul Ali, son of Abdul Jail, of the village of Balagaon, under the jurisdiction of Barpeta Road Police Station of the Barpeta District (Mobile No. 6000951231), has a connection to my daughter, and I am confident that said Jahidul Ali abducted my young daughter and kept her somewhere. The complaint stated, "Thana Kalgachia, Dist-Barpeta, Assam - 781319."
