Man lands in jail for raping 6-yr-old
A Habiganj court yesterday sent a man to jail in connection with the rape of a six-year-old girl in the district’s Madhabpur upazila on Monday.
The accused -- Emran Mia, 27, a neighbour of the victim -- took the girl to a tomato garden by luring her with food and raped her, said Iqbal Hosain, officer-in-charge of Madhabpur Police Station.
Hearing the girl scream, locals rushed to the spot and rescued her but Emran managed to flee, he added.
On Tuesday, police arrested Emran from an abandoned house in the upazila, right after the victim’s father filed a case in this connection.
Yesterday, Emran was produced before the court that passed an order to send him to jail.
Meanwhile, the girl was sent to Habiganj Sadar Hospital for medical tests.
