On 10th June 2002, a Rohingya minor girl, named Lalu Khatun, 9, daughter of Gura Mia hailed from Thamila village of Rathedaung Township was raped by a local Rakhing youth, said a relative of the victim.
The prosecution story in brief was that while the aforesaid girl was grazing her cattle in the lawn, the Rakhing youth named Maung Phu Hla, 26, Son of Tun Mra Kyaw from the same village forcibly took away the minor girl to a hill-side solitary place and raped her there. When the girl screamed out and the near-by villagers rushed to the spot and the culprit was caught red-handed, while the girl was lying unconsciously on the ground covered with blood, he further added.
