By our Correspondent

Teknaf, May 27: On May 13 Jamalida, aged 14 years,

daughter of late Jamal of Pranpru village under Na Sa

Ka Sector No. 6, in Maungdaw north, Arakan State,

Burma, was raped by one Rahmat Ullah (28), son of

Kabir of same the village. The culprit is an agent of

the Na Sa Ka as well as chairman of the Village Peace

and Development Council (VPDC), a villager, requesting

anonymity, said yesterday.

The victim Jamalida is an orphan, lost her both

parents years ago, and has no near relative and kin

except her old grandmother to look after her. In the

dead night of May 13, the culprit Rahmat Ullah sneaked

into the house of the poor lady breaking the door and

violated Jamalida at dagger point, he further added.

The next morning when the matter was reported to the

village elders, a villager namely Khairul Amin, son of

Abdul Malek, in sympathy with the victim, lodged a

complaint with the Officer-in-Charge of the nearby Na

Sa Ka camp. But no action has yet been taken against

the culprit. Rather, the rapist threatened the poor

girl and her grandmother to kill if they expose the

matter.
