Pakistani teenager rape in Tangail Bangladesh

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-47947117

Nusrat Jahan Rafi was doused with kerosene and set on fire at her school in Bangladesh. Less than two weeks earlier, she had filed a sexual harassment complaint against her headmaster.

Her courage in speaking out against sexual assault, her death five days after being set alight and everything that happened in-between has gripped Bangladesh and brought attention to the vulnerability of sexual harassment victims in this conservative South Asian country.

Nusrat, who was 19, was from Feni, a small town 100 miles (160km) south of Dhaka. She was studying at a madrassa, or Islamic school. On 27 March, she said the headmaster called her into his office and repeatedly touched her in an inappropriate manner. Before things could go any further she ran out.

Many girls and young women in Bangladesh choose to keep their experiences of sexual harassment or abuse secret for fear of being shamed by society or their families. What made Nusrat Jahan different is that she didn't just speak out - she went to the police with the help of her family on the day the alleged abuse happened.

At the local police station she gave a statement. She should have been provided with a safe environment to recall her traumatic experiences. Instead she was filmed by the officer in charge on his phone as she described the ordeal.

In the video Nusrat is visibly distressed and tries to hide her face with her hands. The policeman is heard calling the complaint "no big deal" and telling her to move her hands from her face. The video was later leaked to local media.

WTF!!!! That police officer should be hanged!

Rape is becoming a big crisis in Bangladesh. Unlike India or Pakistan most of the rape are reported in Bangladesh. It is sounding scary. Unfortunately rape culture of India is affecting Bangladesh.

In Jhenidah, a government primary school headmaster was arrested yesterday on charges of sexually harassing three girl students.


In another incident, a woman in Manikganj filed a case on Tuesday night against a local businessman for allegedly raping her repeatedly for four years by threatening and intimidating her in different ways.

Meanwhile, Manusher Jonno Foundation (MJF) yesterday expressed grave concern over the increasing number of child rape incidents across the country.

At least 47 children were either raped or subjected to attempted rape and sexual harassment in the last 15 days since April 2. Of them, 39 were raped during this period, the rights body said in a statement.

Besides, five children, including a girl, were killed during the same period for different reasons, it added.

MJF Executive Director Shaheen Anam urged the government to take effective measures to ensure safety of women and children.

The organisation also demanded exemplary punishments for those involved in the killing of Feni madrasa student Nusrat Jahan Rafi.

According to statistics of Ain o Salish Kendra, at least 123 children were raped across the country in the first three months of this year.

In Jashore, a priest allegedly raped a girl inside a Hindu temple at Birampur village on Tuesday evening when worship services were underway.

The accused is Prokash Banerjee, priest of Sree Sree Anukul Thakur Mandir, said police.

The victim went to the temple to pray. At one stage, the priest took her to his room and “violated” her, said Ansar Uddin, additional superintendent of Jashore police.

As the girl started to scream, some devotees rushed to the room and rescued her. They also caught the priest.

Police later went to the spot and arrested Prokash.

The girl's mother filed a case with Kotwali Police Station accusing the priest, said the ASP.

In Feni, a mother of two was allegedly gang-raped in Adarshagram area of Sonagazi upazila on Tuesday night.

The woman filed a case with Sonagazi Model Police Station accusing Nur Alam, Md Apel and Mosharraf Hossain.

According to the case statement, the victim's husband stays abroad. The trio used to stalk the woman and even proposed to have illegal relationship with them.

On Tuesday night, the three accused picked up the woman when she went out of her room for using toilet. They took her to a nearby quiet place and “violated” her.

Police have already arrested Nur Alam. Drives are underway to arrest the two other accused.

HEADMASTER HELD IN JHENIDAH
Jhenidah Sadar OC Mizanur Rahman said Abdus Salam, headmaster of Alhera Government Primary School, had been allegedly sexually harassing three students of class-IV for long.

Knowing about it, guardians went to the school around 2:00pm and started beating him up.

On information, police rushed to the school and picked up the teacher. A case was filed against him, the OC added.

BUSINESSMAN ACCUSED OF RAPE
In Manikganj, a woman filed a case against local businessman Mohammad Ali Uzzal, 40, for allegedly raping her repeatedly for four years.

Both the plaintiff and the accused are from Ghior upazila.

According to the case statement, Uzzal used to torture the woman and force her to have physical relationship with other people.

The accused also recorded such scenes on camera and later used it to hush her up. He took Tk 8.25 lakh from the woman threatening that he would circulate the footage.

The complainant accused that Uzzal also wanted to have sexual relationship with her daughter, a class-eight student.

On Tuesday noon, the accused took the woman and her daughter to a four-storey building in Manikganj town's Uttar Sewta area. He raped the woman and tried to violate her daughter.

Sensing that there was something wrong, some locals entered the building and chased Uzzal. But he managed to flee, leaving his smart phone.

The victim on Tuesday night filed the case against Uzzal and Monira Begum, owner of the building, said Manikganj Sadar OC Rakibuzzaman.

Single, came with parents to visit Bangladesh. Her father is Bangladeshi probably Pakistani now but mom is Pakistani.





Where is the evidence that rapes are less reported in Pakistan?

Some portion of our population who idolize India or Bangladesh regularly become victims due to naivety.

Hate coming out of Indo-Bangal subcontinent is real.

I used to think so, but over the past few years I have met Pakistani uncles of the diaspora who have made me reevaluate that assumption.

Some of them proudly hail from Central India or Bihar, BD and mark it as a source of superiority over other Pakistanis.

Granted this is mostly in Karachi, but I have also seen some Kashmiri and Punjabi uncles who claim they came from India.

Even though basically they were kicked out and forced to flee areas which should have gone to Pak.

Small minority, but present nonetheless.

Sigh I guess the "gora" "Indo" and "Arab" complex are still somewhat common
