A court has sentenced a young man named Md. Shariful Islam (28) to life imprisonment for abducting and raping a sixth-grade schoolgirl in Nagarkanda, Faridpur. He was also fined Tk 1 lakh, with an additional three-year imprisonment in default.

On Thursday (5 November) afternoon, Judge Shamima Parveen of the Faridpur Women and Children Repression Prevention Tribunal delivered the verdict. As the accused was absent during the verdict, an arrest warrant was issued against him.
