Border Guard Bangladesh rape 2 indigenous Tripura girls in Lama

On 22 August 2018, 3 members of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) from Tirer Deva Camp raped 2 indigenous Tripura girls aged 12 and 17 at Fasiakhali union in Lama, Bandarban district.

The BGB men first offered the girls money for sex. They raped the girls at gun point after they rejected the offer.

Meanwhile, Bandarban Sadar Hospital, where the girls are admitted, has been heavily guarded by police, who are restricting the entry of reporters and NGO officials. Rights activists and community organisers said the girls were virtually confined by police at the hospital.

The accused BGB men also told the girls to keep the incident secret or face grave consequences, said an elder brother of one of the girls. The accused were in uniform and carried firearms, elder brother of another girl said. Daw Nai Prue Naly, a rights activist in the district said, "We are concerned about their safety. Police didn't let us talk to the victims. They are in some sort of confinement in the name of police protection."
