Teenage girl raped Pabna

A teenage girl was raped allegedly by one of her neighbouring youths in Sujanagar upazila on Friday night.

The 13-year-old victim was sent to Pabna General Hospital for the medical test yesterday.

Officer in Charge (OC) of Sujanagar Police Station Mohammad Badruddoza said Shakib Hossain, son of Abdus Salam of Jorpukuria village in the upazila, picked up the victim while she was alone on Friday evening.

The culprit then took the girl to his house and raped her forcibly, the OC said.

Family members and neighbours rescued the victim from the house early Saturday but the culprit managed to flee the scene.

Later, father of the victim girl filed a case with Sujanagar Police Station accusing Sakib the same night, the OC said, adding that they were conducting drives to arrest the culprit.

Away in Chatmohar upazila, police arrested a youth from Dhonkunia village on Saturday for his alleged involvement in raping a college girl.

Police produced arrestee Hashem Ali before a Pabna court the same afternoon that sent him to jail.

On February 2, Hashem raped a neighbouring college girl promising to marry her, police said.

Later, victim's father filed a case accusing Hashem.
