College girl raped in captivity
A court here yesterday sent a man to jail on charge of raping a college girl keeping her confined to his abandoned house in Sakhipur upazila under the district for over six months.
Badal Miah, 35, son of Dorbesh Ali of Ratanpur village, claims that he is a leader of Joy Bangla League, locals said.
Badal, arrested on Friday in Mirzapur upazila, was produced before the Court of Senior Judicial Magistrate Abdullah al Masum that sent him to jail following his confessional statement, police said.
Badal, father of two children, had a good relationship with the victim's family and has been staying in their house. Badal's wife and children stay in Dhaka.
The girl told Badal about her affair with a youth and requested him to arrange their marriage. Badal agreed but said he would need money for that. The girl then stole Tk 1.3 lakh from her maternal uncle's house, her brother said.
Badal took the girl to his unused house on January 11 where he has been raping her, keeping confined there. Locals rescued the girl on July 30.
The girl alleged that Badal kept her confined to the house for six months 17 days and raped her on several occasions after giving her food mixed with drugs.
Meanwhile, a case was filed yesterday against a boy and a couple over rape of a schoolgirl in Basail upazila on Tuesday.
The girl's relatives said one Ashik, 18, son of Abdul Karim of Kalian village in adjacent Sakhipur upazila, along with his two accomplices picked up the girl, 14, a Class VIII student, while she was on her way to school on Tuesday.
