Chuadanga Correspondent:

A court has sentenced a person to life imprisonment and a fine of Tk 50,000 in a rape case involving a schoolgirl in Chuadanga. Today, Sunday (September 21), 2025, at noon, Judge Syed Habibul Islam of the Chuadanga Women and Child Abuse Prevention Tribunal gave this verdict in the presence of the accused.

The convicted accused is Khairul Islam (24). He is the son of Sirajul Islam of Buzrukgargari Madrasapara in Chuadanga Municipality. According to the case file, on the afternoon of September 7, 2024, a schoolgirl was returning home through the Chuadanga Government Women's College intersection.

At that time, Khairul, under the false pretense of marriage, took the schoolgirl of Buzrukgargari Madrasapara on an easy bike. Later, at around 1:00 am, he took her to a bamboo grove in Sumirdia in the municipal area and raped her against her will. The next day, the schoolgirl's father filed a rape case with Chuadanga Sadar Police Station, accusing Khairul of rape.

As the allegations against the accused in the case were proven beyond doubt, the learned judge of the court ordered life imprisonment and a fine of 50,000 taka against the accused.
