Youth held for raping minor girl
Police arrested a young man early yesterday in connection with a case for raping an eleven-year-old girl in Muktagachha upazila recently.
Following a case filed by the victim's mother on Monday night, police arrested Hafez Manik Chand, 21, imam of Paratongi Kathgara Mosque in the upazila around 2:00am.
Police said the victim, daughter of a day labourer, has been learning Arabic from the imam for the last six months.
During the time, Manik Chand allegedly raped the girl several times at his room adjacent to the mosque and threatened her not to disclose the matter.
On Monday morning, Manik Chand beat up the girl when she resisted the culprit's attempt to rape her once again. After returning home she disclosed the matter to her parents.
In primary interrogation, Manik Chand confessed the crime, police said.
