Days before the incident, the girl was introduced to a man named Md Shamim by one of her friends when she was working for a garment factory.

Shamim is the resident of Kalar Master Bari area of Mymensingh’s Bhaluka Upazila. The police said the victim came from Mymensing’s Trishal Upazila.

Shamim later proposed love to the girl over the phone, the victim told the media.

But she did not respond to the proposal. “That angered Shamim. He threatened to abduct and kill me,” the victim alleged.   

Intimidated by Shamim, the girl left the job and went to her relative’s house for shelter. But the man kept harassing her over the phone. 

Inspector Md Moniruzzaman, chief of Sreepur Police Station, said Shamim along with his accomplices abducted her when she came out of her aunt’s house on Saturday afternoon.

At first, they took her to Gazipur’s Rajendrapur and then Mymensingh’s Bhaluka by car. Later on Sunday night, they came to Sreepur’s Waydderdighi area, where they took turns to rape her in an abandoned house.

After the gang-rape, they gaged her and tied her hands and feet to restrain her from escaping, according to police.

On Tuesday morning, Shamim shoved her into a plastic bag and took her to a nearby house in a bid to kill her. Later, he left the house.

In the afternoon, she sneaked out of captivity and informed the local people about the incident.

Police rescued the girl and sent her to the Gazipur Shahid Tajuddin Hospital.

The victim’s maternal uncle filed a case with the Sreepur Police Station on Tuesday night.

Police are hunting for Shamim.
