| 2014-01-16 |
| [Dhaka Tribune] The first question the rapists asked before storming into the homes of two neighbouring brothers and gang raping their wives, two daughters and a daughter-in-law was: "Did you vote? Who did you vote for in the election?" The victims, who could barely guess from this question what awaited their fate, and replied at once in the negative. The houses were a few hundred yards away from the periphery of Hrishipara in Monirampur's Haridashkati union. Chairman of the union Niranjan Prosad Biswas believes the incident is related to the national election as 95% of about 750 voters in the Hrishipara are known to be Awami League supporters. |
