Bengali settlers attempt to rape a minor Chakma girl in Dighinala

On 2 February 2015, a Muslim settler named Bashed Mia attempted to rape a 13 years old Chakma girl in Dighinala. The Muslim settler attacked her while she was working at a tobacco farm.

As she comes from a poor family, she has been compelled to work at the tobacco field of late Elahi Bux. Few other women belonging to Muslim settler community also works along with her. Like every other day, on 2 February 2015, the victim went to work early morning. However there was no one other than the victim working in the field on that very day. Between 8:00-9:00 am, finding the victim alone, the perpetrator Bashed Mian (35), son of late Elahi Bux held the victim tight from the back and tried to rape her by force. At that time the victim shouted out for help. The local villagers rushed to the scene and rescued the victim. They held the alleged perpetrator Bashed Mian and later handed him over to the police. A case was filed with the Dighinala police station, under Women and Child Repression Prevention Act.
