According to the media reports, a 14 year school girl of Tangail was violated 4 days by four men. A young girl named Bithi directly aided the rapists by handing over the girl to them after taking her from her family on the pretext of attending a wedding ceremony. In Savar, a college student was sexually assaulted by several men. Unfortunately, another girl helped the rapists in this case, too. The rapists, all belonging to different private universities and colleges, also took obscene photographs and videos. The so called educated persons also demanded money from the victim's family and threatened to release the photo and video, if the money was not given. In this apparent civilized society, perverts often in the guise of educated people prowl the neighbourhoods to find a prey. Parents can teach their daughters to stay away from suspicious men or move with a group of trusted friends. In the recent incidents, girls have actively aided and abetted criminals in committing horrific outrage to another girl. Sexual assault on a girl is more devastating than taking her life, because of the trauma and social stigma it is associated with. Capital punishment by hanging in public places should be awarded to the rapists and also their female companions, so that nobody dares to commit this kind of heinous crime ever again.
