2 schoolgirls raped, culprits sent to jail
A court in Amtali of Barguna sent two rapists to jail yesterday rejecting their bail prayers.
The court of Amtali Senior Judicial Magistrate gave the order when the police produced the accused before the court, said Md Shahidullah, officer-in-charge of Amtali Police Station.
The rapists are neighbour Niaz Morshed, 22, son of Makbul Howlader of Kathalia village and Babul Fakir, 23, son of Naya Fakir of Tepura village of Amtali upazila, said the OC.
Niaz, an honours second year student of Patuakhali Government College, and Babul, a computer businessman at Kathalia Bazar, are friends, he said.
Two schoolgirls, also cousins, were raped by neighbour Niaz and his friend Babul in their house on Friday night at Kathalia village in Amtali upazila of Barguna.
The OC quoting the locals said only the two girls, students of Class VIII of Kathalia High School, were at home during the incident as other family members were visiting a relative's house. Taking advantage of the situation, Niaz and Babul entered the house and raped both the girls, the OC added.
The locals, however, caught the two rapists red handed as the girls raised a hue and cry seeking help to rescue them, Shahidullah said, adding that later, the villagers handed over the rapists to police.
Both the victims have been sent to Barguna General Hospital for medical test, OC said.
