Sirajganj, Nov 18 (UNB) – It’s a double tragedy for a minor girl of Raiganj upazila. First, she was raped by a youth of her Chakchowbila village barely five months back and now it has got public that she is ‘pregnant’.
Matiar Rahman, chairman of Salanga Sadar union parishad, said Akram Hossain, a local youth, violated the fifth grader of a madrasah five months back and threatened to kill her if she discloses the matter.
Scared by the death threat, the victim did not tell anyone about it. However, the matter came to the light on Sunday.
Meanwhile, the rapist has gone into hiding, the chairman said.
Contacted, Tajul Hossain, officer-in-charge of Salanga Police Station, said they heard about the incident but did not receive any written complaint. “Necessary legal steps will be taken once we receive a written complaint,” he said.
