2 minor girls 'gang-raped'
Two minor girls were allegedly gang-raped in separate incidents in Khulna and Rajbari on Monday.
A 14-year-old girl was “gang-raped” by three men around 8:00pm in Khanjahan Ali area of Khulna's Sadar upazila.
The three accused are Sagor, Bellal and Shafiq.
The girl went on a bike ride with Sagor on Monday. At one point, Sagor took her to an abandoned building and called his accomplices Bellal and Shafiq. Later, the three raped the girl and fled the scene, said police quoting locals and the girl's family members.
Hearing her scream, locals rescued the girl and sent her to Khulna Medical College Hospital, said Shafiqul Islam, officer-in-charge of Khanjahan Ali Police Station.
However, the girl's father said Sagor often stalked the girl on her way to school and while retuning home.
The process of filing a case is undergoing, the OC said yesterday.
Meanwhile, a 16-year-old girl was allegedly gang-raped by six men in Bhabanipur area of Rajbari's Sadar upazila.
A case has been filed in this connection.
According to the case statement, the girl's ex-boyfriend -- Sujon, a neighbour of the victim and a rickshaw puller by profession -- took her to a nearby home saying his mother wanted to speak to the girl about their marriage.
Sujan left the girl with some of his friends and fled the scene, read the statement.
Later, six of Sujan's friends forcibly took the girl to an abandoned house and raped her, the statement added.
After the incident, the girl went to Rajbari Sadar Police Station and lodged a complaint around 5:00pm Monday.
The girl broke up with Sujan recently after knowing that he was already married.
Contacted, Sujan denied the allegation and said he took the girl to his home by his own rickshaw but did not know anything more.
Swapan Kumar Majumder, officer-in-charge of the police station, said they already arrested five accused of the six.
The girl was undergong treatment at Rajbari General Hospital.
However, Resident Medical Officer of Rajbari General Hospital Ali Ahsan Tuhin said no symptom of rape was found on the victim in their primary diagnosis.
Details will be known after further tests, he added.
