Teenage girl abducted, gang raped

Three miscreants allegedly abducted a 16-year-old ethnic minority girl from Rangamati hill district headquarters on Thursday, repeatedly raped her for 14 hours, before returning her home on Friday morning.

The victim filed a case of abduction and gang rape with the Kotowali police station of Rangamati at 9pm on Friday. She named Md Manik, son of Md Khalilur Rahman of Parzatan Sarak, and Md Selim, son of Md Abul Khaer of Mashjid Colony, of Tabalchari and an engine boat driver as the abductors and rapists.

The teenage victim said Manik, a CNG-run three-wheeler driver, and Selim, a master roll employee at Rangamati Hill District Council, abducted her from Tabalchari bazar on Thursday noon. They took her to Bondhu Jishu Tila Sirir Ghat and from there took her in the middle of the Kaptai Lake by an engine boat. There they raped her by turn for at least 14 hours.

The girl said the rapists brought her to Shaheed Minar Ghat at 4am on Friday and from there sent her home by the help of a friend named Md Ali, another driver of CNG-run three-wheeler.

The victim's mother is a cleaner at Rangamati Pourosabha and the girl works as a tailor.

The duty officer-in-charge of Kotowali police station, assistant sub-inspector Zakir Hosain confirmed the filing of the abduction and gang rape cases. He said they already had sent forces to arrest the accused.

The crime created a sharp and wide wave of agitation and anger across the town. Bangladesh Mohila Parishad Rangamati unit president Konica Borua demanded that the offenders must be arrested as early as possible and brought to justice.
