A Dinajpur court yesterday sent three men, accused of gang-raping a 10th-grader in a case filed by her father, to jail in the district’s Ghoraghat upazila.

All three were arrested on Sunday night after the victim’s father filed a rape case with the Ghoraghat Police Station the same day.

The arrestees are Labu Mia, 28, a night guard, Ashraful Islam, 35, and Omar Faruk, 21, a mason.

Police sent all the accused to Dinajpur District Jail through a local court yesterday, said Azim Uddin, officer-in-charge of the station.

According to family members and the first information report (FIR) filed with Ghoraghat Police Station, Labu had gotten hold of the girl’s phone number and, pretending to be someone she knew, lured her to a nearby litchi orchard on Saturday night.
