School teacher Pratishtha Chakma said: “I went to the field very early in the morning for the big celebrations of Independence Day on the 27th.” When I got home at noon, I heard about the incident from my daughter and called her to find out. The victim is your daughter’s classmate. Later I learned that they have a family settlement. They didn’t tell us anything else.
Defendant Jewel Chakma denied the matter, saying that it was a family matter, that the matter had been resolved in a family manner.
The victim’s mother said the arbitration took place at the office of a private NGO at the Champak Nagar intersection in Rangamati city on Sunday night. In arbitration, Jewel admits her guilt, apologizes to everyone, and takes responsibility for my daughter’s education. It was decided to open a bank account in the girl’s name and pay a total of Tk 5 lakh to Tk 6,000 per month. On the one hand, family members and we are also poor people. So I accepted. What else to do!
Defender Jewel Dewan, officer in charge of the Bangladesh Legal Aid Services Trust (BLAST) in Rangamati, wrote the arbitration papers, according to the victim’s mother.
However, defender Jewel Dewan denied the allegations and said: “Those who work for women’s rights have done it, they have only informed me.” I heard there were female leaders Sugandhi Chakma and Anita Dev Barman. I am not involved in any way.
Sugandhi Chakma, a female leader, said the girl’s family did not agree to bring a case. Since they are both related. We cannot give any solution. We can only show the way. The girl’s grandfather was present there, he was the one who gave the solution, which is that the girl will stay elsewhere and a total of 5 lakh rupees will be paid for the girl’s education at 6,000 rupees per month.
