Indigenous Girl: Two arrested over rape, its video footage
Police have arrested two men at Chaikkhong Bazar in Alikadom upazilla of Bandarban in connection with the rape of an indigenous girl on Friday.
The arrestees are Mizanur Rahman, 23, and Saiful Islam, 24, of Chaikkhong in the upazilla.
The victim has been undergoing treatment at a Bandarban sadar hospital.
An elder brother of the victim said Mizanur raped his sister on Friday night when she went out of her school hostel to respond to nature's call.
Mizanur took the girl to the woods nearby, and raped her. Saiful captured the whole thing on a mobile phone. They also threatened to kill her if she disclosed the matter to anyone.
Mizanur even tried to force her into keeping a physical relationship with him as he said he would otherwise circulate the video footage on the internet.
The girl, however, told her family about the matter.
Her family members then lodged a complaint with Alikadom Police Station against them on Saturday.
Police arrested the duo that night, said Appela Raju, officer-in-charge of Alikadom police.
