Akhtar Hossain, the secretary of the National Citizens’ Party (NCP), has demanded the immediate arrest and maximum punishment for those involved in the rape of an eight-year-old child. He stated that the criminals had gang-raped the child, and while two suspects have already been arrested, the party insists on ensuring the harshest penalties for all perpetrators. Akhtar Hossain also criticized the prevailing culture of impunity in Bangladesh regarding crimes like rape and urged law enforcement agencies to take greater responsibility. Earlier, an NCP delegation visited the victim at the Combined Military Hospital (CMH).
