    Guwahati: Doctor Couple arrested in Alleged Child Abuse Case

    The incident came to light after child right activist Miguel Das Queah took to his Facebook profile to inform about the incident.

    Digital Desk: Guwahati
    police on Friday detained doctor couple Dr. Waliul Islam and Dr. Sangeeta Datta
    for their involvement in an alleged child abuse case. According to sources, the
    couple tied their little daughter (who supposedly adopted) on their terrace in
    the blaring summer heat.



    The incident came to light
    after child right activist Miguel Das Queah took to his Facebook profile to
    inform about the incident.



    "Finally, Guwahati
    Police have taken notice of the dangerous doctor couple Dr. Waliul Islam and
    Dr. Sangeeta Datta's cruelty." I'd been getting reports for a long time
    about this horrible medical couple who used to tie their small kid (who they
    claimed to have adopted) to their terrace in the sweltering summer heat.
    "This little 5 year old girl child has bruise marks all over their
    body," Miguel Das Queah wrote in the post.



    Miguel had previously
    suggested that the witnesses file a complaint, but no one had the nerve until
    Friday. Meanwhile, Miguel had provided an update to the Child Welfare Committee
    on the situation.

    with the teachers, speak with the neighbours, and, most importantly, examine
    the adoption papers.



    color:black">"The child should be removed from the abusive environment as
    soon as possible." "It appears that this Dr. Waliul has another
    illegally adopted girl child from a previous marriage, whom he has
    abandoned," Miguel went on to say.



    The terrible assault was
    reported to Paltan Bazaar Police by local locals. On Friday, a police team
    arrived at the couple's house and retrieved the youngster. Meanwhile, Dr.
    Waliul Islam is being questioned by the police. Lakshmi Nath, a caretaker, is
    also being questioned in connection with the case.
