Father of one of the victims filed a case with Ghatail Police Station yesterday in this connection.

According to the case statement, four schoolgirls came out of their residences for attending a milad mahfil at SE Girls' High School on Sunday.

However, instead of going to the school, they along with two of their male friends - Hridoy and Shahin - went to visit Cantonment Fire Range by an auto-rickshaw at Satkura.

When they reached there, 5-6 local youths surrounded the vehicle and took the girls to the deep forest around 2:30pm after beating their two male friends and the driver.

They spared one of the girls when she told them that she lost her mother. Then, the hoodlums took turns to rape the three other girls and fled the scene.  The victims managed to reach the relative's house of one of them and informed the parents about the matter.
