Police stated that the young woman, who hails from Shibganj upazila, had a prior acquaintance and friendship with the accused individuals. The incident unfolded after she met Kawser, Badhon, Sadiq, and another person at a city shop around 8 p.m. on Sunday. The group then decided to consume alcohol, purchasing it from a local hotel bar before heading to a half-finished building at approximately 10:30 p.m. A fifth individual subsequently joined them.

The victim alleges that during the drinking session, the accused men collectively raped her. Following the assault, Badhon reportedly escorted her to another location, where she managed to call for help from locals by shouting. Badhon then fled the scene. Police from Bogura’s Fulbari outpost swiftly responded, rescued the victim, and dispatched her to the hospital for treatment. Subsequent raids led to the immediate apprehension of three suspects.
