Police have arrested a 45-year-old man named Aminul Islam in Boda, Panchagarh, on charges of raping two neighbor children after luring them into his home with biscuits. Police stated that the accused was arrested on Monday night following a complaint lodged by the victims’ families.
The arrested individual, Aminul Islam, is a resident of Amtala Kazipara in the Kajaldighi Kaliyaganj Union of Boda Upazila. The two victimized children are currently undergoing treatment at the Panchagarh Modern Sadar Hospital in critical condition. According to the case statement, the two victims used to call the accused “Grandpa” (Dadu) and would occasionally go to his house to play. Taking advantage of the fact that no one else was home, the accused allegedly lured the children into his room with biscuits and raped them.
According to the complaint, the accused raped a six-year-old child last Friday and Saturday, and in the same manner, raped a five-year-old child on Sunday. The report also states that the children were threatened not to tell anyone about the incidents. An aunt of one of the victims mentioned that after noticing the children crying unusually, they were questioned. Initially, one child was too afraid to speak, but later the other child described the entire incident while complaining of physical pain. The family members then took them to the hospital for treatment.
Dr. Masud, Resident Medical Officer (RMO) of Panchagarh Modern Sadar Hospital, stated that the two children have been admitted as victims of physical abuse, and signs of injuries were found on their bodies. Necessary evidence has been collected. Regarding the matter, Boda Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Sohel Rana said that following the complaint from the victims’ families, the accused Aminul Islam was arrested and, after completing legal procedures, has been sent to court.
