2 girls ‘raped’ in Dhamrai, Savar

A 13-year-old girl and a garment worker were allegedly raped in Dhamrai and Savar of Dhaka on Monday.

In Dhamrai, the victim’s sister claimed that their neighbour Buddo Mia, 30, took her sister to a lemon garden from their residence in Radio Colony area and raped her there around noon.

Hearing screams of the victim, locals rescued the girl and caught the alleged rapist. Later, they handed over the duo to the victim’s family, she said, adding that Buddo Mia, however, managed to flee.

“Then, we took my sister to Dhamrai Upazila Health Complex around 8:30pm and the doctors referred her to Dhaka Medical College Hospital for proper treatment.”
