On the morning of July 9, 2009, Kalam allegedly lured the girl to a jute field where he raped her as his associate Tushar recorded the incident on his mobile phone. When he was done, Tushar raped the victim and this time Kalam recorded it on the same mobile phone. The two men then passed the footage around to friends, printed it on CDs which they sold in the local market and also uploaded the footage on a website. According to the victim's family, the teenager was assaulted on July 9, 2009 while she was on her way to school at around 7 am. The frightened girl did not report the incident to anyone, but as the word spread of the video footage and people were able to identify her, she told her parents what had happened. Sources of victim's family also said “May be she had a relation with Kalam, so when he called her she went with him and she was harassed and raped by Kalam and his associates.” The girl is now under the protection of a lawyer in Faridpur sadar.
