Tufan among four on fresh remand

Bogra Correspondent: A court in Bogra on Wednesday placed four accused, including Tufan Sarkar, on different terms of fresh remand in two cases filed for shaving the heads of a female student and her mother after the rape of the girl allegedly by a local Sramik League leader.

Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Shyam Sundar Roy passed the order when investigation officer of the case Inspector Abul Kalam Azad produced the accused before the court seeking a seven-day remand for each of them.

The court granted two-day remand for the prime accused, Tufan Sarkar, and his aide Munna and one-day remand for Tufan's wife Asha Begum and mother in-law Rumi Begum.

Earlier on July 17, Tufan allegedly raped the female student alluring her with assurances of ensuring her admission to a college.

When Tufan's wife Asha and her elder sister Rumki came to know the incident, they along with some associates picked up the girl and her mother from their house.

Later, they shaved the heads of the female student and her mother after brutally torturing them.
