Two jailed for throwing acid on college girl
A Gopalganj court yesterday sentenced two men to imprisonment for 14 years and seven years respectively for throwing acid on a college girl in 2015.
District and Sessions Judge Md Dolil Uddin of Acid Control Tribunal delivered the verdict.
The court sentenced Rothin Ghose, 25, to 14 years and Ashim Roy, 35, seven years. The court also fined the convicts Tk 50,000 each. The court, however, acquitted Rothin's parents.
According to the prosecution, Rothin proposed Akhi Bagchi, daughter of Subash Bagchi of Thuthamanda village, which she rejected. Out of anger, Rothin and his friend Ashim threw acid on Akhi in her house around 3:00am on May 9 in 2015.
During the investigation, police found Ashim's involvement in the incident and arrested him.
