Jamal Ibne Musa, whose efforts helped a trafficked Indian boy to reunite with his family, has received a fresh threat yet again on Sunday

Jamal Ibne Musa, whose efforts helped a trafficked Indian boy to reunite with his family, has received a fresh threat yet again on Sunday allegedly from the boy's captors.

Aklima Begum, who allegedly brought Sonu, a 12-year-old Indian boy, to Bangladesh from the Indian capital New Delhi in 2010, went to Jamal's house at Geramardan village in Betagi upazila of Barguna in the evening and threatened him to implicate in another case.

Jamal's wife Niru Begum said Aklima and her cohorts are on the run since Sonu's return to India, but they often come to the village and warn Jamal and his family members of dire consequences.

"I feel proud when I think about Sonu's reunion with his family but at the same time I get frustrated when think about the six false cases filed against me and my family members," Jamal said.

'Now I demand impartial investigations in all the cases and acquit me and my family members of those cases to help me return to our normal life', added Jamal.

Jamal said as he had lost his job and had no earning sources it is difficult for his family of five to appear at different courts regularly in connection with those cases.

He also urged the authorities concerned to take necessary steps to withdraw all the cases filed against him and his family members.

Sonu was reunited with his family in New Delhi on June 30.

The boy flew to Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi by a Jet Airways flight, from where his parents took him to their house in New Seemapuri locality in the northeast part of the Indian capital.
