The alleged assault took place at a hotel in Nijhum Dwip on the day of Eid-ul-Fitr on Monday.

The two - 'Arif', 28, and Kamrul Islam, 26 - lured the girls, one from a school and the other from a madrasa, into a hangout on the Eid day, Hatiya Police Station OC Abdul Majid said.

Police arrested the duo from the hotel and rescued the girls in the wee hours of Tuesday after being informed by locals, he said.

The father of one of the alleged victims has started a case against Arif and Kamrul.

The men were produced before court on Wednesday and later sent to jail.
