Earlier, a gang of local miscreants abducted the two girls when they were returning from their school in Mostafapur of the sadar upazila on August 13 of the last year. They killed them after raping for nightlong and threw bodies in the roadside ditch.
The victims were identified as Sumaiya Akter, 14, and Happy Akter, 14, both were the students of class V111 of a local school.
Happy’s mother Mukta Begum filed a case with the district Women and Children Repression Prevention Tribunal on August 13 and Sumaiya’s father Belal Shikder filed another case with the Madaripur Sadar Police Station on August 14, accusing eight persons. The cases were handed over to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the district police. The CID also failed to submit the charge sheet even after passing of about five months.
On the other hand, the complaints expressed their dissatisfaction at the postmortem report of Madaripur Sadar Hospital recently and filed petition to the High Court for permission to do post mortem again in a separate hospital.
