A female Baul singer has been allegedly gang-raped in Ashulia, Savar.
The victim herself has filed a case with Ashulia police station regarding the incident on Thursday morning.
The incident occurred at Shujon Bhuiyan and Badshah Bhuiyan's house in Gazirchat area of Ashulia on Wednesday.
Acting on a tip-off, police arrested the accused Badshah Bhuiyan, 40, from the Gazirchat area. However, the main accused Shujon Bhuiyan, 35, is still on the run from the law.
According to the police and the victim's relatives, the victim sang in various events near the Palashbari area. She went to another Baul singer Abul Kalam's house to collect her due payments on Wednesday afternoon.
When Kalam went out of the house, Shujon lured her into his house by asking a nine-year old child to call her. Then he locked her up in a room and raped her. After that, Badshah took her to another room and raped her again.
Badshah and Shujon beat Kalam after bringing him to their house and warned him not to tell anyone about this incident.
They also threatened to frame him with a yaba case to the police and then released both the Baul singers in the evening.
