A 45-year old woman was allegedly raped by thieves spraying superglue on eyes at Rauli village in Khulna’s Paikgachha upazila early on Monday.
Victim’s family said, on Sunday night, some unidentified men entered the bedroom of the woman, breaking the door of the stairs. Later, they tied the hands and feet of the housewife, sprayed superglue on her eyes and covered her mouth with tape and violated her.
The rapists also hit on different parts of her body, they said. The thieves fled with a pair of gold earrings and approximately Tk 2 lakh, family members claimed.
Hearing her screams, the neighbours came and informed her husband. The victim’s husband said his wife was unable to speak as the rapists sprayed super glue on her eyes and mouth. “So it is not possible to say how many thieves were there,” he added.
Assistant Superintendent of Police D-Circle Md Saiful Islam said they visited the spot after receiving the information. Obaidur Rahman, officer-in-charge (OC) of Paikgacha Police Station, said they rescued the housewife with her hands and feet tied.
“It is not possible to say whether she was raped or given superglue. We visited the spot, and a high-level investigation has started,” added the officer.
