Elder brother of the 20-year-old worker said his sister set off for office on that morning but did not return. When he reached the factory searching her during the lunch break, her coworkers informed him that she did not show up and was raped by “their electrician Yunus” on August 25 around 10:00pm while everyone was leaving.

Many workers told our correspondent that they had also heard about the rape incident from others but none could ascertain what really happened. During primary information, Yunus denied the allegation, said police.
