2 students sexually harassed
Two college students -- a girl and a boy -- were sexually harassed by youths who forced them into a compromising situation and videotaped them in Noakhali Sadar upazila on Thursday night.
They then extorted Tk 10,000 from the victims by threatening to release the video on social media.
The female victim later filed a case against the suspects, who could not be arrested as of yesterday evening.
The victims are graduation-level students at a local college.
According the case statement, the girl went to her male classmate's house in a neighbouring village around 8:00pm on Thursday.
While the two were talking in front of the house, some young men, including Pulak Mazumder, Akbar Hossain and Raihan Uddin, appeared and alleged that the girl and the boy were in a relationship and termed it "anti-social" activities.
The men then dragged the girl and boy into a room and beat them up while forcing them to be in a compromised state.
At one stage, they taped the duo and demanded Tk 50,000. As the victims refused, the suspects threatened to release the video.
The victims paid them Tk 10,000.
However, the men tried to sexually harass the girl again. When she began screaming, the suspects fled the scene, said the statement.
On Saturday, she lodged a case with Sudharam Model Police Station in this regard.
Contacted, Fazlul Quader, inspector (investigation) of the station, confirmed the incident and said they were trying to arrest the accused.
