A JUMMA woman has been raped by a gang of robbers in PHP Rubber Plantation Camp No. 8 under Byshari Union in Nakhyongchari Upazila of Bandarban district, reports Samakal, a Bengali daily, published from Dhaka.
The paper, however, has not mentioned the identity of the victim — obviously because of the social stigma suffered by rape victims in Bangladesh.
The incident took place on Sunday night (10 April) when an organized gang of 12 – 14 robbers came to loot the Rubber Plantation Camp.
The robbers took away raw rubber worth about Taka 200,000, a mobile phone set and some cash.
They confined Mohammad Hossain, the night guard, Mohammad Hassem, the imam of the mosque and four others in a room and then raped the woman.
The police and senior Executive Director of the Rubber Plantation, Roush Ahmmed, visited the spot.
Quamrul Islam, Sub-Inspector of Byshari Union Police station, said he had received verbal complaint about a Jumma woman being raped by a gang of robbers.
