People were pushing for loan money. Therefore, Sabbir Mia (21) planned to kidnap someone and collect the ransom a month and a half ago to pay off the debt. On YouTube, crime-related nationals and foreigners learn different kidnapping and murder techniques by watching the events on different channels.

He used to run a small grocery store in his village. Detective police arrested him last Wednesday. Later he confessed to killing the baby Samia.
According to police sources, Samia, the daughter of Ranju Mia, a third-grade student of Dariyapur Uttarpara village, went to a private school in that village at seven in the morning on September 6. As Samia did not return even after nine in the morning, her family started searching. At 10:24 AM Samia’s father received a voicemail message from Emu ID on his mobile phone. It was reported there that Samia had been kidnapped. If you pay five lakhs, you will be released. In this regard, on September 7, Ranju Mia filed a case as a plaintiff at Sakhipur police station.

That night, Sabbir took Samia’s body from the bamboo grove and buried it in clay in the paddy field.
Sabbir learned about the app to change his voice by watching YouTube. Accordingly, he changed his voice and recorded using an app to demand ransom.
