The bullet-ridden body of a suspect in a rape case was found in Jhalakathi with a note tied around his neck reading: “I am in this state because I raped a madrasa student”.
Police recovered the body around 2pm from a rice field in Boltala Village, said Kathalia Police Inspector Enamul Haque, reports bdnews24.com.
The man was identified as 28-year-old Sajal Jomaddar.
“The body had a bullet wound in the head,” Inspector Haque told bdnews24.com.
Sajal was accused of grabbing and raping a madrasa student on her way to her grandparent’s home in Pirojpur’s Bhandaria on Jan 12.
The girl’s father filed a case against Sajal and two others with Bhandaria Police Station over the incident. Bhandaria Police SI Tariqul said that the suspects had absconded after the case was filed.
