A man and a woman have been arrested over the alleged gang rape of a woman in Satkhira Sadar, Bangladesh. The purported victim was reportedly promised medical treatment at a private clinic before the incident.
Alleged Incident Details
The alleged incident occurred in a rented house in the Tala Bridge area. The woman had been told that it was too late to find a doctor. A man is said to have claimed to have worked at a clinic in Satkhira and, with the alleged assistance of a woman at the house, purportedly gave the victim a sedative mixed in her food.
The woman was then allegedly raped once she was unconscious. It is reported that she was raped several times in the same night.
