A
SEVEN-YEAR old Jumma girl has been subjected to an attempted rape by a Bengali
settler in Tabalchari under Matiranga Upazila of Khagrachari district.
The incident occurred at 1:30pm
today, Thursday, when the girl, a class two student of Tabalchari
P K Government
Primary School, was on her way back
home after attending classes.
When she reached Ripru Tila, between Kadamtoli and
Masterpara in Bornal Union, a settler youth grabbed and forced her into a
jungle and then tried to rape her.
However, a local Marma boy witnessed the scene, and he
immediately gathered his friends and then rushed to the spot, while shouting at
the settler youth.
Sensing imminent danger, the culprit ran away, leaving
behind his flip-flops. The Jumma youths then rescued the girl and escorted her
home in Kadamtoli village. She is from Chakma community.
The girl’s parents and local elders have informed the local
Union Council chairman, Md. Ali Akbar, about the incident, it is learnt.
However, no action has been taken till the writing of this
report at 4pm.
