| [Bangla Daily Star] Villagers flogged a criminal to death after he and his four accomplices gang-raped a 10 year-old girl in a village of Bishnupur union under Baderganj upazila Monday night. The victim, student of a local primary school, has been admitted to Rangpur Medical College Hospital with critical injuries. According to her father, she was accompanying him to a relative's house at a nearby village around 8:00pm, when five thugs appeared and surrounded them. The gang-leader Banu Dakat and his partners then tied up the girl's father and violated his daughter. Hearing his cries for help, hundreds of villagers rushed to the spot. They caught Banu Dakat and beat him mercilessly causing him to die on the spot. Sometimes, it does "take a village". I don't quite think this is what Hillary had in mind. However, his accomplices managed to flee the scene, police said. Banu, son of Mabud Mian of Chhoto Hajipur of Baderganj was a notorious bandit, police added. None has been arrested so far.
