3 sisters, family under threat

The police are yet to arrest an alleged stalker, five days into filing of a case with Gouripur Police Station under the district.

Amid harassment and threat allegedly by Delwar Hossain, 25, son of Tara Mia of Hatior village in Gouripur, three sisters stopped attending their classes last month.

Victims' father lodged a case on Friday accusing neighbour Delwar and his accomplice Abdul Aziz.

“Delwar and Aziz are staying in the area. The stalker and his family members are threatening us to withdraw the case,” he said. 

Delwar had been disturbing an SSC candidate girl of the area for long. Her elder sister is an HSC candidate while the youngest sister is a seventh grader at a local school.

“Now I have to escort my seventh grader daughter to school as her annual examinations are going on. I sent my SSC examinee girl to a relative's house in Gouripur on Monday,” said the hapless father, expressing concern about his daughters' education and security of the family.

As the girl rejected Delwar's marriage proposal, he created nuisance, and the victim stopped attending her school three months ago.

“On November 25, when the SSC examinee was returning home from a coaching centre, Delwar and Aziz waylaid her with sharp weapons and forcibly took her to Sahaganj area. As they started torturing her, locals came to her rescue,” said the father.

Gouripur Police Station Officer-in-Charge Delwar Ahmed said they continued drives to arrest the accused.
