Godagari UNO office besieged for rapists’ punishment

RU Correspondent
Several hundred indigenous people yesterday besieged the office of Godagari Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) and demanded immediate arrest and punishment to the rapists of three women.

They also submitted a memorandum to the UNO containing their nine-point demand.

Before submission of the memorandum, a big meeting was held on the UNO office premises. The general secretary (GS) of Rajshahi district unit of Jatiya Adivasi Parishad, Shyam Kumar Duar presided over the meeting.

Speakers criticised the police administration saying 'the rapists are moving under the nose of police but they are not arresting them'.

Earlier, they brought out a big procession chanting various slogans. Police intercepted the procession but no untoward incident happened.

A group of miscreants gang-raped three indigenous women on August 17 and 18.
