At that stage, the informant along with his father entered the house on their return from the market and somehow recovered the victim girl and apprehended the accused person Nur Hoque Mondal. When the said incident was Page No.# 4/5 informed to the father of the accused petitioner Nur Hoque Mondal, namely Ajij Mondol, he, along with other accused persons of the case, came to the house of the informant with arms and weapons, assaulted them and took away the accused person Nur Hoque Mondal. 6) In the said FIR dated 25.06.2024, the informant also stated that the accused Nur Hoque Mondal used to disturb his minor daughter whenever he used to meet her by proposing her and also by proposing to have sexual relation with her and further, he used to call her over phone regularly, which the petitioner’s minor daughter refused to accept. 7) Said FIR of the informant was registered as Shimultapur Outpost G.D.E.

Case No. 101/2024 is accepted. 13) Accordingly, it is provided that in the event of arrest of the petitioner No. 7, namely, Rafikul Mondal @ Rofikul Hoson Mondal, son of Abul Hussain Mondal, in said Gossaigaon P.S.
