A 15-year-old girl was allegedly raped after being lured into a job in the capital’s Pallabi area on Sunday morning.

The rape incident took place at about 10:30am on Sunday and the victim was taken to Dhaka Medical College Hospital at around 4:45pm after being admitted to a nearby hospital, according to victim and her family. 


The police arrested accused Sagar but his friend, however, managed to flee.

The rape victim said that Sagar lured her into his house by offering her a job as a part-time domestic worker.

‘He took me to his house and raped me there. When it started bleeding, Sagar and his friend took me to a hospital near Purabi Cinema Hall. As doctors doubted them, they called police and they arrested Sagar,’ the victim said.

She said that doctors contacted her parents and they took her to the DMCH.

Victim’s mother, Shabana, said that she allowed her daughter to work in people’s houses as a domestic worker due to poverty.

‘I demand justice for my daughter,’ she added.

Pallabi police station sub-inspector Mohammad Alauddin said that they had recovered the girl from a local hospital and took her to the DMCH.

‘We have detained the man but his friend fled from the hospital. The process of filing a case over the incident is under way,’ the SI added.
