The victim Amina Khatoon (25) wife of Mohamed Amin, hails from Maung Nama village in Maungdaw township in Arakan State, Burma, he added.
Earlier, Johora Begum (17), daughter of late Abul Hashim, hailing from Maung Nama Alay Rwa (village) in Maungdaw Township died of a heart attack while she was being abducted from her home by Village Peace and Development Council (VPDC) Chairman Zubair, son of Moulvi Siddique of Maung Nama village to physically assault her, said a relative of Johora Begum.
The victim's relative Amina Khatoon (30) and Mahmoda Khatun (35) complained to UNHCR, Township Peace and Development Council (TPDC) Chairman, District PDC Chairman and the headquarters of Nasaka. But no action was taken against the VPDC Chairman, the relative added.
In retaliation, on November 27, at about 10 pm, the VPDC Chairman Zubair (30) accompanied by some Nasaka personnel from Nasaka headquarters of Kowarbil went to Amine's house and hid a mobile phone inside her house. She was arrested for having a mobile phone. She was taken to the Nasaka headquarters. A photograph of her holding a mobile was taken by Nasaka as a record, said a village elder.
At present, she is in the Nasaka camp. Mortaza, the elder brother of village chairman Jubair demanded Kyat 400,000 for her release. According to her relatives, she was tortured in the camp. The Chairman and his elder brother Mortaza are notorious and are into also sorts of corruption in the village encouraged as their by Nasaka, villagers said.
