Housewife raped at home in Patuakhali
A housewife was raped allegedly by her two neighbours in Galachipa upazila early yesterday.
The victim said she lives with her family in the capital where her husband works at a barber shop. She went to her village home last week to celebrate Durga Puja. Other members of the family were to go later.
The victim, a mother of three, was sleeping at her home when two of her neighbours -- Kalipada Das and Nizamuddin -- entered the house and raped her around 2:00am.
At one stage, she became unconscious and the two fled.
When she regained consciousness, she started crying. Hearing her crying, other neighbours rushed to the spot and she was taken to Patuakhali General Hospital, the housewife said while talking to this correspondent at the hospital.
The victim demanded punishment of those involved in the rape.
Medical tests of the woman were completed.
Contacted, Akhter Morshed, officer-in-charge of Galachipa Police Station, said hearing the news, they sent police to Patuakhali General Hospital and the spot.
No case was filed until filing of the report around 4:00pm, he said, adding that if the victim lodges a case, they would take proper steps in this regard.
