After 28 years, the Kalpana Chakma abduction case, led by the Hill Women's Federation, concluded with the court rejecting the plaintiff's plea against the police's final report, citing lack of evidence on the perpetrators. The Rangamati Senior Judicial Magistrate ordered the case closed, prompting dissatisfaction from Kalpana's brother, who plans to appeal to the High Court. The police report acquitted suspected individuals without naming the real culprits, leading to further discontent. Kalpana was abducted in 1996, with her brother initially filing a case. Despite appeals for further investigation, the court accepted the police's final report, prompting disappointment among the plaintiff and the Hill Women's Federation, who criticized the decision as biased and vowed to continue their fight. The incident sparked national and international attention, prompting a government inquiry committee's formation.
