2 girls raped in Kishoreganj

Two girls, one 11-year-old and another 15, were reportedly raped in separate incidents in Kishoreganj.

In Pakundia, an 11-year-old girl was allegedly raped by two of her teen neighbours on Sunday evening in Purbopara village.

Police arrested the suspects - aged 14 and 16 years - after the girl's mother filed a case, UNB quoted investigation officer inspector Md Shafikul Islam saying.

Evidence of rape was found in medical tests.

A court sent the suspects to jail when they were produced before it on Tuesday.

In Katiadi, Lohajuri Union's ward number 6-member Abdul Rashid was arrested for his alleged involvement in the gang-rape of a 15-year-old girl.

The victim was taken out of her home on 15 May with false promise of marriage and raped repeatedly for six days by three men.

Her father filed a case on Tuesday with Katiadi police accusing four men.

Sumon, 24, took the victim to one of his relatives' house in Pakundia upazila and raped her with two of his friends, police said.

The other suspects are Shuvon and Shamim.

Quoting Katiadi police's in-charge (investigation) Shafiqul Islam UNB says the girl was sent to the civil surgeon's office for medical tests.

Arrested ward member Rashid was produced before the court.
