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.

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.
