Arrested youth Raju Hossain was sent to jail on Thursday in a case filed over rape and torture of a girl confining her over the last one month after alluring to marry her at Bagmara upazila in Rajshahi district.
Police produced him before a court on Thursday afternoon. Then the judge ordered to send Raju to jail.
Earlier after Wednesday midnight, Bagmara police arrested Raju from Harifola Mahalla under Taherpur municipality in Bagmara upazila. On the same day, the ailing victim was rescued from a rented house of Raju and then admitted her to one stop crisis centre at Rajshahi Medical College Hospital.
Detained Raju Hossain, 25, is a tea-vendor. He is the son of Abdur Razzak Shah of Harifola Mahalla under Taherpur Pourasava.
Locals said the girl hails from Faridpur district. She got acquainted with Raju over phone and fell in love. Assuring the girl of marrying, Raju brought the girl at Taherpur on March 24 last. Then he got into a rented flat. Confining the girl there, Raju allegedly raped the girl over the last one month intimidating and beating her.
Being tortured, the girl fell sick at one stage. Sensing the matter, the inhabitants of a neighbouring house informed the local councillor about the matter. As the councilor informed the police station concerned, police rescued the girl at about 10:30pm on Wednesday. Then police detained Raju from the same area.
