Digital Desk: In a significant development, the prime accused in the Dhing gang rape case Tafazul Islam was declared dead following an intense two-hour rescue operation. Islam, who had been arrested on August 23 as the third suspect in the heinous crime, attempted to escape police custody early on Saturday morning.
