During primarily interrogation, the trio confessed to raping the woman.

Earlier, the 22-year-old gang-rape victim filed the case on Friday afternoon against five unidentified miscreants.

Quoting the case statement, sub-inspector of Bhatara Police Station Khurshed told UNB that the Garo woman was dragged into the microbus by the miscreants from Kuril Bus Stand around 9:30pm on Thursday as she was waiting for transport to return home after the day’s work at a showroom in the area.

After the abduction of the victim, the microbus kept running around the locality and the miscreants, numbering five, raped her one after another.

Later, the miscreants threw her out of the bus at Jasimuddin Road in Uttara on Thursday midnight.

Afterwards, local people rushed her to a local hospital after rescuing the ill-fated from the spot.
