Majedul Islam of village Sardarpara in Dimla upazila flirted with a student of class nine of Dimla Girls' High School, Emili Akhtar,18, by marrying her through a false marriage registration at Kaliganj in Jaldhaka last year. They lived together as a couple for a considerable period.

In the meantime, Majedul got a job in Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) and was posted to Dinajpur. Working there for sometime, he returned home on March 21. Emili went to his house to establish her right. Instead of recognising her as wife, Majedul in collaboration with other family members beat up her badly and assaulted her.

Majedul's brother-in-law lodged a case against Emili. When police arrested her, local people vehemently protested to it. In face of public demand, police compelled to release her. Her father Nur Mohammad sent her to Dimla Upazila Health Complex for treatment. Then he filed a case with Dimla Police Station accusing Majedul and four of his family members.
