has been killed after rape in Kaptai, Rangamati district, police and other
sources have said.

14-year-old school girl, had gone to their jum field in
Bengchari.

after they failed to rape her.

Kaptai police station, Harun-or Rashid, confirmed the incident, saying her body
had been recovered from a hill top.

investigating the matter on the basis of this assumption.” he further said.
