Despite her repeated requests, the police initially refused to register a case, she alleged.

 

The woman claimed that her husband, Kabir Hossain, and his family members had been harassing her for years, and she had been forced to return to her parental home. The police were instructed to take action after the incident was brought to the notice of the Inspector General of Police (Law and Order). Following this, the police retrieved the woman's minor daughter from her husband's custody and returned her to the mother. The police also accepted the woman's complaint and assured her of registering a case and providing justice.
