Dhaka: A special tribunal in Dhaka has set June 1 for the hearing on charge framing in the case concerning the rape and murder of eight-year-old Ramisa Akter, which occurred in the Pallabi area of the capital.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Judge Masrur Salekin of the Dhaka Metropolitan Children Violence Suppression Tribunal issued the order after accepting the charge sheet filed against the accused. Earlier, police submitted the charge sheet implicating Sohel Rana and his wife Swapna Akter in the heinous crime.
Ramisa, a second-grade student at Popular Model High School in Pallabi, was allegedly raped and subsequently beheaded by her neighbor, Sohel Rana, in his apartment located in the Millat Camp area of Pallabi on May 19. The brutal incident led Ramisa's father to file a case with the Pallabi police station the following day.
