Police is yet to arrest the prime accused in a mother-daughter rape case in Feni although four other suspects were arrested during a joint drive by Rab and police.
The mother, who filed the case with the Daganbhuiyan police station, brought charges against 10-12 individuals including prime accused Litu, younger brother of Daganbhuiyan UP vice-chairman Joynal Abedin Mamun.
The incident occurred on Tuesday night at the Jola Bari area of Rajapur union in Daganbhuiyan upazila, Feni.
Litu and his cohorts allegedly abducted the daughter of late Dr Sahab Uddin from Koresh Munshi Bazar around 9pm on Tuesday, and instructed her mother over phone to come over to Jola Bari where the daughter was ensnared.
The complainant, who has a beauty salon at the bazar, said when she went there to rescue her daughter, both of them were gang-raped by 10-12 miscreants.
Acting on a tip-off, police and Rab officials conducted a joint-drive in the place and rescued the mother from Litu’s residence and the daughter from a nearby house who were then sent to the Feni general hospital.
Moshiur Rahman Mintu, secretary of Koresh Munshi Bazar Committee, and three other persons were also arrested during the drive.
The victims also alleged that the rapists had threatened them with consequences, including making public video clips of the rape scenes, if they disclosed the incident to anyone.
