Teenager arrested for 'raping' disabled child

The Rapid Action Battalion members arrested a teenage boy for allegedly raping a disabled child in Sadar upazila of Tangail district early Wednesday.

Shafiqul Islam, 19, a resident of the upazila, was nabbed around 3 am, said a press release on Wednesday.

In the release, Abdullah Al Mamun, the commanding officer of CPC-3 under RAB-12, said the elite force members arrested the teenager after they had received a complaint that he violated the seven-year-old child luring her chocolate.

A case has, however, been filed against him with Sadar Police Station under the Women and Children Repression Prevention Act.
