UNB, Jhalakati :
The prime accused in a case filed over the alleged ‘gang-rape’ of madrasa girl Karima Akhter, was found dead at Binapani village in Kathalia upazila on Saturday noon.
Police recovered the bullet-hit body of Sajal Jomaddar, son of Abul Hossain Jomaddar of Nadmula village in Bhandaria upazila from a garden in the area at noon.
Officer-in-Charge of Kathalia Police Station Enamul Haque said locals spotted the body with two bullet-wounds to his head and one on the chest and informed police. Later, it was sent to Sadar Hospital for autopsy, he said.
A handwritten placard with the following message was found on the body: “My name is Sajal and I am the mastermind of Madrasa girl Karima’s gang rape case.”
The OC also said they were yet to find any clue as to who killed him and dumped the body in the garden.
Police said, Sajal and some of his associates intercepted the madrasa girl while she was going to nearby Hetalbunia uncle’s house on January 12 last.
They took her to a betel leaf garden and took turns to rape her. A case was filed accusing Sajal as the master planner over the incident on January 14. Meanwhile, family members claimed that he went missing following a rape case with Bhandaria Police Station.
Following the incident, Mozammel Haque Reza, additional superintendent of Jhalakathi (Rajapur- Kathalia Circle) visited the spot.
Earlier on January 17, police recovered the bullet-hit body of Ripon, 39, another prime-accused in a similar case of gang-rape, from an empty field inside Amin Model Town. Ripon too had a similar message on a placard tied around his neck which read: “I’m the mastermind of the gang- rape case.”
Ripon was the prime accused in a case filed over the death of a garment worker following ‘gang-rape’. Ripon and his four associates intercepted the female RMG worker, an employee at Yagi Garments where Ripon was a line manager, while she was returning home from work at Beron in Ashulia on January 5. She died at home two days later.
