Police arrested a bus driver, helper, and supervisor in Bhaluka upazila of Mymensingh on charges of attempting to rape a 15-year-old girl inside a parked bus.
The incident took place on Monday (November 9) night in the Square Masterbari bus stand area under Habirbari union. Following the incident, the victim's father filed a case against the three suspects at Bhaluka Model Police Station on Tuesday (November 10).
The arrested individuals are bus driver Rabiul Karim Sarkar, 26, helper Halim Molla, 35, and supervisor Mahbubur Rahman, 30. All three hail from various areas of Natore district.
According to local sources and police, the teenager left her home on Monday afternoon following a family dispute and was waiting for a bus at the Kaliakair bus stand to travel to Dhaka. A transport helper persuaded her to board a bus under the pretext of taking her to Dhaka.
Instead of heading towards the capital, the driver diverted the vehicle to the Masterbari bus stand in Bhaluka. After other passengers disembarked, the victim was left alone in the rear seat.
When the girl questioned the change in route, the transport staff stalled by claiming she would be transferred to another Dhaka-bound bus. Shortly afterward, the driver, helper, and supervisor attempted to assault her.
Hearing her screams, nearby residents rushed to the scene, surrounded the bus, and apprehended the three men before handing them over to the police along with the vehicle. Police rescued the victim and brought the suspects to the police station, where her parents later arrived.
Bhaluka Model Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Md. Zahidul Islam stated that a case has been filed by the victim's father, and the arrested accused have been sent to court.
