In this regard, the victim said that we have been in a love relationship for the last 4 years. We used to rent houses in Bogra town and Nandigram by pretending to be husband and wife. My previous family has been ruined by various talbahanas. He threatened to break up the family if I didn’t get involved in love first. At one stage I developed a love relationship with him but my previous marriage did not last.

He said, if Rana does not marry me in this situation, I will have no choice but to commit suicide. My family threw me out of the house after learning about the incident. I have nowhere to go. So I will get married and start a family with Rana.

When Rana was contacted about this, he initially claimed that the matter was false. Later, when told about different pictures, he claimed that it was edited. At one stage, in response to various questions, he admitted the matter and said, I will not marry him. That would get me hanged.

Chairman of Bhatgram Union Parishad Abul Kalam Azad said, I have heard the incident. A woman is on hunger strike demanding marriage. If there is a relationship between them or there is evidence, the son should marry.
