Guwahati, Dec 17 (IBNS) : Hailing from a poverty-stricken family of lower Assam’s Dhubri district along Indo-Bangladesh border, Momina Khatun, who was allegedly abducted 25 years ago, has been found in Pakistan through social media.

The family members of Momina had reported her missing cases at Golakganj police station but didn’t find any clue about her whereabouts.

Later the family members were informed that Momina was abducted by human traffickers.

Finally Momina was traced about her whereabouts and the family members were informed that she is now staying in Pakistan and became a mother of three children.

Recently, Momina’s younger child 15-year old Sufiyan had contacted with the family members of the lady in Golakganj through Facebook and said his mother wants to come back in India.

“Momina Khatun is now a Pakistan national and she was sold by a person in Pakistan 25 years back,” a local villager of Golakganj said.

Now the question raised whether the Union government will take any initiative to provide visa and other required documents to Momina and her children to come back to her native land and meet family members.
