When victim’s two sister left her, the alleged rapist and his friend cunningly took the victim inside a toilet near a local Leguna bus stand.

A case was filed with local Adabar Police Station in this connection. 

DC Azimul Haque said, after scrutinizing 23 CCTV footages, we identified the CNG driver. Later a team of Adabar Police nabbed him from Satarkol area under Badda Poice Station on Tuesday night.

During the primary interrogation, the arrested admitted that he raped the baby girl. He also disclosed the name of his another cohort who also raped the girl.

We are trying to arrest him also, the senior police officer added.

“We sent him before the court seeking seven days remand, however the court granted a two day remand. We will arrest another suspect rapist very soon,” said Inspector Momin Khan of Adabar Police Station.
