Woman ‘gang-raped’ in Shariatpur; 3 held
Miscreants have reportedly gang-raped a woman after tying her husband up in an orchard of Achura village in Naria upazila of Shariatpur district.
Police arrested three people from the village early Tuesday in connection with the incident that took place on Monday night.
The arrestees were identified as Md Rabbi, 28, son of Alamgir Bepari, Emon Khandaker, 26, son of Malek Khandaker, of Achura village, and Ali Khandaker, 42, son of Abdul Hye Khandaker of Atipara village of Sadar upazila.
Police said accused Hazrat Ali called the victim’s husband to the orchard of Aziz Dhali in the village around 9:30pm over the phone.
As soon as he went there, a group of seven people already staying there tied him up and forced him to ask his wife to come to the garden along with money.
When the woman went there, the miscreants violated her in turns.
When locals approached the orchard after hearing about the incident, the miscreants fled, leaving the couple behind.
After receiving a call through the national emergency number 999, police rushed in and rescued them. The woman was later sent to Sadar Hospital for medical examination.
Police also conducted a drive in the area in the early hours of Tuesday and arrested the three accused, reports UNB.
