The couple were admitted to the Noakhali General Hospital where Additional SP Dipak Jyoti Khisa met them. Yusuf Majhi and his men, who are supporters of Tajuddin’s rival Farhad Chowdhury Bahar who ran with lock symbol, had threatened the couple and asked them to vote for Bahar, the woman said. “They asked us not to go to the polling station if we did not vote Bahar. The residents of the village rescued them after hearing the cry of her husband and took them to the hospital, she said. Bahar refuted the allegation that his men had raped the woman and beaten up her husband for not voting for him.
