Vadodara: Three women including two from Bangladesh fled from the women’s protection home in Nizampura area of the city early on Tuesday morning. While the railway police are investigating authority in the case, the crime branch has also begun efforts to track down the women who were last seen on Ahmedabad-Vadodara highway. Sources said that one woman has been reportedly nabbed from Rajkot.
According to the police, the railway cops caught the women with bogus identity cards when they were travelling on Howrah-Ahmedabad train some days back. The railway police had filed an offence against Najmul Sheikh who was accompanying the women. The women identified as Mausami Sheikha resident of West Bengal, Yasmin Jajmiya and Farzana Sheikh, both residents of Bangladesh, were mentioned in the offence as witnesses and sent to women’s protection home.
The women from Bangladesh had admitted to having bought the bogus Aadhar cards from a man in Bharuch. They had been to Rajkot and Mumbai in the past. Senior police officials were expected to question these women about their links with other Bangladeshi residents nabbed in the other states. However, at about 2 am on Tuesday, the three women managed to escape from the women’s protection home.
The police said that they got out of their room and headed towards the compound wall that is at least seven feet high and protected with barbed wires. The women put a garbage bin on a plastic chair and somehow managed to climb the wall. “Two of them headed for Ahmedabad-Vadodara highway and were seen in a bus. But they had to get down near GSFC as they didn’t have money to pay the bus fare. We are trying to track them,” said a crime branch official.
