Agartala Nov 04: Despite filing a case, police of Kalamchoura police station have failed to locate a young woman who has been missing since October 22.

According to the protesters, the incident was reported to the police immediately after the girl went missing from Manikya Nagar, Madhyapara.

Later, a case was filed on October 23 against the accused, Farooq Islam, for eloping with the young woman, named Jhimpi Das. 

“But despite a deputation given to the police on October 26 and a seven-day timeframe provided by the police, the girl remains missing”, alleged the agitating villagers.

Monday morning, the villagers took to the streets, demanding that the police rescue the girl within 24 hours.

The Officer in Charge of the police station rushed to the scene, assuring the villagers that the accused had fled the state with the girl. 

However, locals claim that the girl was kidnapped and demanded her safe return. 

They warned of larger movements if their demands were not met, insisting that they cannot tolerate such incidents and urging the police to take swift action.
