When the guardian saw Tk. 500 note in victim’s hand and interrogated her, the victim exposed everything to her aunty. Sadhan Barua has been raping to her for 11 days against her will by showing greed and luring.
The father of the 11-year-old victim said that on the advice of Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Rawzan Police Station Abdullah Al Harun, a case was submitted to Nor Hossain, OC (Investigation) of Rawzan Police Station.
The victim’s father said, “they are getting threat from the accused side in various ways because the family of the rapist is also powerful. We are suffering from insecurity now. Even then I want the punishment of my daughter’s rapist.”
