Case filed against 2 union-level BCL leaders for rape
A case was filed against two leaders of Bongaltoli union Bangladesh Chhatra League, along with three of their cohorts, on Friday on charges of raping a 21-year-old college student in Rangamati's Baghaichari upazila.
The victim's father said, even though the incident occurred on July 15, he delayed filing the case with Baghaichari Police Station due social stigma and pressure from locals to go for an arbitration.
The accused are Bongaltoli BCL's President Jishu Chawdhury, 27, it's general secretary Biplab Barua Sohel, 26; and Md Arif, 26, Md Rassel, 29 and Amal Barua, 45.
According to the case, Biplab lured the victim out of her house around 9:00pm and took her to his house, where he and the others raped her.
After the case was filed, she was sent to Rangamati General Hospital for tests and kept in police custody, the father said yesterday.
Md Anwar Hossain, OC of Baghaichari police, said a drive is going on to arrest the accused.
