Teen dies after alleged rape at Gazipur hotel; 2 held
A 17-year-old girl from Gaibandha died after allegedly raped at a residential hotel in Kaliakair, Gazipur.
Her body was recovered Friday evening (Oct 10) and sent for autopsy.
Two men have been detained in connection with the case.
According to police and local sources, the incident happened Thursday around 7:30pm at a hotel in Chandra, Kaliakair.
Mominul Islam Mohon, 22, and Atikur Rahman, 23, allegedly took the girl to the hotel, where Mominul raped her multiple times, causing severe bleeding.
After initial treatment at a pharmacy failed, the suspects took her to Kumudini Medical College Hospital in Mirzapur, Tangail.
Doctors advised transfer to Dhaka, but she died en route early Friday morning.
The ambulance driver reported the death to Mirzapur police, and the police detained the two suspects.
Later, they informed the Kaliakair Police Station.
Mominul is from Uttar Sajuria, Bagmara, Rajshahi, and Atikur is from Nimaichura, Chatmohar, Pabna.
Police said both worked at a garment factory in Ashulia, Savar, and Mominul had been in a three-year relationship with the victim.
