According to the case statement, Md Liton Mia, a security guard at the ATM booth next to the Talha Spinning Factory in Mulaid village under the upazila raped the girl inside the ATM booth at 10:30am on Sunday.

Receiving assurances about a better-paying job from Liton for the girl, the victim’s father sent her to the booth, where Liton raped her in a small room inside the booth.
