A group of men beat her while she was on her way to provide tuition to her student in Konapara area in Old Dhaka. The victim is a student of a private university in the capital. As she reached Chishtiya Road under the Demra cop shoppe, a man named Nek Babu along with his three to four associates blocked her way. They started bullying her and at one point started beating and molesting her leaving her injured. The victim's sister said Babu had been stalking her sister for long. He had proposed her once and got rejected. Since then, he had been harassing her on streets regularly. The girl was taken to Dhaka Medical College Hospital yesterday. After primary treatment she was released. Demra cop shoppe Officer-in-Charge Sirajul Islam said they had heard about the incident.
