Bangladeshi girl sent to Nari Niketan

Panipat, January 23
A 21-year-old Bangladeshi girl who was allegedly raped by some persons in Delhi and Panipat was taken into police custody here yesterday. The girl, who had reportedly eloped from Bangladesh with her boyfriend, was deserted by him in Delhi. Police sources informed that finding her alone and not conversant in Hindi or any other regional language, some unscrupulous elements raped her. She was given shelter for a few days by a local woman. However, when the police came to know about the girl through some other Bangladeshis, she was taken into police custody and sent to Nari Niketan in Karnal. — OC
