Two people including an 85-year-old man were sent to jail over rape of children in separate incidents in Tangail and Sunamganj yesterday, while a man was arrested on Sunday night on charge of raping a woman in Jashore.
A Tangail court sent Hasan Ali, 85, from Madhupur upazila, to jail after he was produced before it. Police arrested the man on Sunday, reports our Tangail correspondent.
Tarik Kamal, OC of Madhupur Police Station, said the accused lured the child, a pre-primary student at a local school, into his house around 11:30am on Sunday with a pack of chips.
He then raped her after gagging her with a piece of cloth. At one stage, the gag slipped off her mouth and she started screaming for help. Locals then came to her rescue and caught the accused. Informed, police arrived at the scene and arrested Hasan.
The child's mother filed a case with the police station that night, the OC said, adding that they sent the victim to Tangail General Hospital yesterday for medical tests.
