Selim Miah over cell phone allured the girl of giving her a job and asked her to come to Gazipur on Saturday, local and police said.
Later the girl along with her female friend came to Sreepur by train on the day from Gaforgaon. Selim along with his two friends Rashedul and Rafiqul received the two girls.
The three youths later took away them inside the forest in Satkhamair saying they would go to the work place.
As the girls were dropped inside the forest, sensing the fear they started crying. At first the youths tried to violate both the girls. But at one stage, one of the girls managed a good escape from the rapist clutches while another became the victim of gang rape.
The three youths carried out the sexual assault on her there before leaving the place until she lost her senses.
As the girl who fled the scene cried for help for her friend, local people rushed to spot and rescued her in an unconscious state.
