Narail:Police have taken two men into custody in relation to the alleged gang rape of an 18-year-old girl in Narail Sadar upazila. The victim was reportedly held captive at various locations for four days.
According to United News of Bangladesh, the suspects, identified as Akash Biswas, 21, and Nur Nabi Mollah, 28, are residents of the upazila. A third suspect, Biplab Amin Sheikh, 22, is still at large, as confirmed by Inspector (Investigation) of Narail Sadar Police Station Ajay Kumar Kundu.
The incident began on November 4 when the woman left her home due to a family dispute and later contacted Akash, an acquaintance of her brother. Akash arranged to meet her at a local market and subsequently took her to Biplab's house, where she alleges she was confined and raped by Akash. On the following night, she was moved to another location where Nur Nabi allegedly raped her. She was then returned to Biplab's house and raped again.
Throughout her captivity, the accused reportedly threatened and intimidated the victim to prevent her escape. On November 7, she managed to reach out to her brother, who, along with other family members, rescued her. She filed a case with Narail Sadar Police Station the following Tuesday.
Inspector Kundu reported that Akash was apprehended within an hour of the case being lodged, and Nur Nabi was arrested around midnight. Nur Nabi has since provided a confessional statement to the court. Efforts to locate and arrest Biplab Amin Sheikh are ongoing.
