A teenage girl has allegedly been gang raped at a school in the city.

According to the case statement filed by the 15-year-old victim, a group of eight persons raped the teenager one by one locking her inside a room in Jurain Adarsha High School in the old part of the city on 28 April.

According to the police and the teenager's relatives, the girl, who has been living with her parents at the old parts of the Dhaka city, got secretly married few days ago. Following conjugal life's strife, she left her husband on 28 April. When the girl shared this to one Shawon, who was familiar to the teen girl, took advantages of her helplessness and raped her inside the school with seven associates.

At one stage the girl felt sick, the rapists then boarded her on an auto-rickshaw. Day after the incident, the girl filed a case with the city's Kadamtali police station mentioning the name of the rapist.

According to the case statement, on 28 April evening, Shawon took the girl to the school forcefully. The school's security guard Swapon then locked the girl into a room of the school.

Around 1:30am in the night, eight people, including Shawon and Shwapon unlocked the room and forced the girl for sexual act. As she tried to scream, Munna put his hands on her mouth and the others tied her hands with a rope. Later, the eight men raped her one by one.

Kadamtali police station officer-in-charge Kazi Wazed told Prothom Alo that one young man Shawon is the mastermind.

Although Shawon could not be arrested, they have nabbed Swapan, the security guard of the school.
