Faridpur ‘gang rape’: 3 along with mother-daughter arrested

Police have arrested three persons, including a mother-daughter duo, for allegedly plotting a gang rape at Madhukhali Upazila of Faridpur, reports UNB.

The arrestees are Rozina, her mother Parul Aktar and one Zakirul Haque.

On Tuesday night, the victim’s father filed a case against the trio and accused several other anonymous people of human trafficking and rape.

The victim recently came to her father’s home at Madhukhali from her husband’s village. On Sunday, her friend Rozina came to visit her.

After an argument with the victim, Rozina with her mother and some men abducted her from her father’s house that afternoon.

The victim said they took her to different places, drugged her and had her raped several times.

They dropped her in front of her father’s home on Tuesday morning after her condition deteriorated.

Her father said the victim’s condition has improved. She is currently being treated at the One-Stop Crisis Centre of Faridpur Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical College Hospital.

Madhukhali police station’s officer-in-charge Rathindra Nath Tarafdar said Zakirul was arrested in a drive on Tuesday night after the arrest of Rozina and Parul.

The women are residents of Modhukhali Asrayan centre. Zakirul, hailing from Gopalganj, was a contractual worker at the Madhukhali Sugar Mill, said police.

OC Rathindra Nath said the court had sent the three accused to jail. The other accused will be arrested after getting the victim’s statement.
