Youths 'assault' college girl in Demra

Habiganj 'assaulter' sent to juvenile centre

A group of youths allegedly punched and kicked a college girl and hit her in the head with a brick chunk in the city's Demra area yesterday.

Police arrested Rakib, 25, and Babu, 24, in connection with the incident, Demra Police Station Officer-in-Charge Sirajul Islam told The Daily Star.

The girl, 22, a BA second-year student, was attacked as she had refused one Max Babu's “proposal for love”, the OC said.

She has lodged a case against the four youths. Besides the arrestees, the other accused are Max Babu, 25, and Imran Hossain, 24.

Barely 10 days ago, a teenage boy slapped a schoolgirl in broad daylight in Habiganj. One of the assaulter's friends shot a video of the incident and uploaded the footage on Facebook, which triggered a huge public outcry.

Yesterday, the assaulted college girl's brother claimed that four youths intercepted his sister in Kanapara area on her way home from a tutor's house around 1:30pm.

Following an altercation, they roughed her up, he added.

Later, the victim received treatment at the Dhaka Medical College Hospital.

HABIGANJ BOY SENT TO JUVENILE CENTRE

A Habiganj court yesterday sent Ruhul Amin, the teenage boy who beat up a schoolgirl in public on August 26, to the Juvenile Correction Centre in Tongi of Gazipur.

Ruhul, a class-IX student of Habiganj High School, was arrested at Richi village in Sadar upazila on Friday, said Nazim Uddin, officer-in-charge of Habiganj Police Station.

Judge Md Atab Ullah passed the order after Omar Faruque, a sub-inspector of the police station, produced the boy before the court.

The court fixed September 30 for the next hearing.

The victim's father filed a case with the police station on Friday, he added.

OC Nazim said they were looking for one of Ruhul's friends who reportedly shot the video.
