Two arrested over rape of teenage girl
Gournadi police in separate drives yesterday arrested two college students for their alleged involvement in the rape of a teenage girl -- hours after the victim's mother filed a case.
Golam Sorwar, officer-in-charge of Gournadi Police Station, said the girl was sent to Barishal Sher-e-Bangla Medical College Hospital for tests.
The three accused in the case used to live in a rented flat near her house at South Bijoypur village under Gournadi upazila of the district, the OC said. The victim was familiar to one of them.
According to the case statement, the three raped the girl first on February 7 after calling her to their house, and then blackmailed her with a video of the incident to rape her twice more on February 11 and 15.
The victim's mother told the Daily Star, “We were initially afraid to file a case because they threatened to publish some videos of my daughter.”
The prime accused in the case is still at large, OC Golam Sarwar said, adding that they are continuing their drive to arrest him.
