Girl Raped
Father takes his own life
Unable to take the rape of his 13-year-old daughter by two local goons, an elderly indigenous man took poison to end his life Wednesday night in Mirsarai of Chittagong.
Around 8:00pm on Tuesday, Joynal Abedin, 25, raped his daughter when she went out to respond to nature’s call around 100 yards away from her home which was in a hilly area, said Sub-Inspector Pijush Singh of Mirsarai Police Station.
Hearing her screams, locals rescued her and the police arrested Joynal and his aide Alauddin, 21, on Wednesday.
Pijush said the girl’s father had committed suicide around 7:30pm Wednesday and that they recovered his body and sent it to Chittagong Medical College morgue for an autopsy.
He said, “The father might have committed suicide being shocked by or ashamed of his daughter’s ill fate.”
Officer-in-Charge Imtiaz Bhuiyan of the police station said Joynal and Alauddin had been sent to jail after they were produced before a court yesterday morning.
