I also communicated with the father and mother of the victim who also given me to understand that they are in panic as those perpetrators are threatening to withdraw the case; but the police officers of respective police station did not agree with the statements of the victim’s father and mother. The victim is now under medical enquiry at the Hospital. I could not talk with the victim as she does not carry any mobile phone.
Bangladesh Minority watch has decided to investigate the matter at the spot at Ullapara,Serajgonj very soon.
Recommendations: -
Bangladesh Minority Watch is very much concerned about the sexual assault on minority School girl and we demand
1) immediate arrest of the perpetrators responsible for sexual assault;
2) investigate the matter by a judicial Officer not less than a District and Sessions Judge;
3) Punish the perpetrators as per law;
4) The traumatized victim should be given proper medical treatment and the compensation should be paid to the victim’s family.
5) Perfunctory investigation by the police should be carefully monitored.
6) The state should protect minorities as per International protocol to get proper justice.
