Three arrested
A schoolgirl of Manikganj has been forced to lead a life of a sex worker at a house in Savar on the outskirts of the capital for the last two months.
The victim disclosed the horrific story of her confinement to the press at the office of the superintendent of police of Manikganj yesterday, a day after she fled the place.
The girl, a student of class seven, alleged that her private tutor Mosharraf Hossain, also a clerk of Kafiluddin Dorji High School under Ghior upazila in the district, took her to Savar on June 21, promising to marry her.
Instead, Mosharraf, 24, along with his friends raped her, confining her to a house for a week.
She was then handed over to Rubina Begum and Taslima Begum of Maya Kuthir at Savar, where they forced her to become a sex worker for about two months, the victim said.
Rubina Begum, 35, of Kakfu village under Bagatipara in Natore, and Taslima Begum, 21, of Kumuria village under Daulatpur upazila in Manikganj, have been running the prostitution ring at the Savar’s Maya Kuthir for long.
After his daughter reached home and narrated the horrific story to him, the victim’s father filed a case with the police station accusing Mosharraf, Rubina, and Taslima under the Women and Children Repression Prevention Act Wednesday afternoon.
Police arrested Rubina and Taslima from Maya Kuthir, and Mosharraf from his residence at Daulatpur in the district in separate drives on the day, said Ashraful Islam, officer-in-charge (OC) of Ghior Police Station.
Police produced the arrestees before a court yesterday and prayed for a five-day remand. But the court granted a three-day remand for each, the OC added.
