<i>Cases against youths on charge of rape, making video CDs</i>
Two youths have been sued for rape of a madrasa girl and videoing the scene on their mobile in Badarganj upazila of the district.
The accused are Manikul Islam, 14, and Rubel, 18, of South Baochandy Dangapara village in the upazila. Victim's father filed the case with Badarganj Police station on Saturday.
Police said the youths with the help of a local computer operator also uploaded the video on the internet, made CDs of the obscene scene and circulated them in the area.
The victim is a class V student of a local madrassa. Manikul and Rubel forcibly took the girl to a mango orchard at Kashiganj village while she was returning home at the village from the madrasa on August 29. They raped her and videoed the scene on the mobile.
Family members quoted the victim as saying that the youths threatened her to publish the video on the Internet if she tells the matter to anybody. She did not tell anyone about the sexual abuse out of fear, they said.
Police said victim's family came to know the incident on Friday and filed the case with the police station concerned the following day, accusing Manik and Rubel.
The officer-in-charge (OC) of Badarganj police Station said the culprits had gone into hiding soon after filing of the case. “We are trying our best to arrest them,” he added.
