A BENGALI settler was arrested on
Monday after he made a failed attempt to rape a Jumma tenage girl in Merung
under Dighinala Upazilla.
The
incident occurred at 8 in the morning when the 13-year old victim, a class
eight student of Betchari High School in Merung Union, went to work in the
tobacco firm of Md. Bashed Mian (35) in Bacha Morong village.
Beside
her, some other Bengali women had also worked in his tobacco field the day
before (Sunday).
But on
the day of the incident, for some mysterious reasons, these Bengali settler women
were absent from work.
Finding
her alone, Bashed son of late Ilahi Bux,
grabbed her and tried to rape her.
The girl
screamed for help and the nearby villagers rushed and rescued her.
They
caught Bashed and then handed him over to the police.
The
victim's father filed a case under Prevention of Women and Children Repression Act in
connection with this incident.
