Three teenage girls were raped in Noakhali, Jamalpur, and Sylhet. Police so far arrested two youths in these connections.
In Sonaimuri upazila of Naokhali, a 14-year-old girl was raped allegedly by a youth on Saturday night.
Police yesterday morning arrested the youth -- Noor Hossain, 20, of Khajuria village in the upazila -- after the elder sister of the girl filed a case with Sonaimuri Police Station.
The youth came to the girl's house to attend a marriage programme, the victim's relatives said.
At one stage, he took the girl to a cowshed and raped her, they added.
The youth fled the scene, leaving the girl injured. Later, relatives rescued her.
The youth was arrested immediately after filing the case, said Mohammad Giyas Uddin, officer-in-charge of Sonaimuri Police Station.
Medical examination of the girl was complete, he said.
Another 14-year-old girl was raped in an under-construction building of Ansar and VDP office in Bakshiganj upazila of Jamalpur early yesterday.
The father of the girl filed a case in this regard with Bakshiganj Police Station yesterday morning.
According to the case statement, Robin Mia, of Dapunia area in Mymensingh Sadar upzaila, worked as a day labourer at the construction site.
He developed good relations with a local girl and asked her to meet him at the night at the construction site. As she came, Robin raped the girl.
The girl was sent to Jamalpur Sheikh Hasina Medical College Hospital for examination and police were trying to arrest the accused, said Sub-inspector Sharif Ahmed of Bakshiganj Police Station.
Meanwhile, in another development, police arrested a man at Kurbanitila in Sylhet Sadar upazila for kidnapping and raping a 15-year-old girl.
The arrestee is Rubel Miah, 28, of Bagbari area in Sylhet city.
BM Ashraf Ullah Taher, additional deputy commissioner (media) of Sylhet Metropolitan Police, said, "The arrestee somehow influenced the victim to go on a trip with him by an auto-rickshaw and took her to Dakshin Surma upazila's Technical College area on April 1. There, he raped her several times.
"On Saturday, the victim's family members traced her location, contacted the accused, and convinced him to come to Baishtila area with the victim. There, they detained the man and informed police via a 999 call."
A case was filed against Rubel with the police station later that night, the ADC said, adding that the accused was sent to jail after appearing before a Sylhet court.
