Class IV student raped by cousin
A Class IV student, who was raped allegedly by her cousin in Kulaura upazila of the district on Saturday night, is undergoing treatment at One-stop Crisis Centre in Moulvibazar Sadar Hospital.
The alleged rapist is identified as Rujel Mia, 22, son of Mojid Mia of Bagrihal village in Kulaura upazila.
The victim's father said the girl was at home alone around 8:00pm on Saturday when Rujel came and tricked her into going to a lonely place outside the house and raped her there.
The alleged rapist ran away when neighbours rushed to the scene hearing the girl's scream for help.
“I will file a case as soon as the hospital confirms the rape,” said the grieving father.
He alleged that some village elders assured him of settling the matter through village arbitration and a few local influential people told him not to talk to journalists regarding the incident.
Kanai Lal Chakrobarty, sub-inspector of Kulaura Police Station, said the alleged rapist is staying away from home apparently in an attempt to avoid police.
