A housewife was reportedly gang-raped by four neighbours at Kismat Chameshwari village in Sadar upazila of Thakurgaon early Monday, reports UNB.

Rokeya Sattar of Thakurgaon Modern Hospital said the victim was admitted to the hospital around 6:50am. Rape will be confirmed after medical tests of the woman.

According to the victim, neighbours Harun-or-Rashid, 35, his friends Mynul, 40, Shahin, 30, and Khairul Islam, 60, had been following her for the last few weeks.

Her husband went to Tangail on Sunday for work, she said. "Taking the advantage of his absence, they gained entry into my home cutting open the door in the early hours. They gagged me and raped me one-by-one starting with Harun," she said.

At one stage, the victim's son, a minor, woke up and started screaming. Hearing his screams, locals rushed in and rescued her but the rapists fled the scene, she added.

On information, police visited the housewife at the hospital and recorded her statement, said Ashiqur Rahman, officer-in-charge of Sadar police station.

Necessary legal measures would be taken after written complaint in this connection, the OC said.
