Mysterious ‘Hercules’ Vigilante Kills 3 Suspected\u00a0 Rapists in Bangladesh<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The person is being hailed a hero and showered with praise on the internet. Some social media users even suggested the man should come to India to tackle the country’s rampant rape and sexual harassment problem.<\/strong><\/p>\n

An anonymous vigilante, who calls himself “Hercules”, is roaming the streets of Bangladesh and killing rape suspects.<\/p>\n

The body of the vigilante’s third victim, recovered on Friday, had a printed note tied around its neck which read, “I am Pirojpur Bhandaria’s [the victim’s name] rapist Rakib. This is the punishment for rape. Rapists beware. Hercules,” reports Bangladesh’s Dhaka Tribune newspaper.<\/p>\n

\nThe victim, the report says, is a suspect in a Jalakathi gang-rape case, and has been identified by Bangladesh police as Rakib.<\/p>\n

Prior to Rakib’s murder, two other suspected rapists were killed in similar fashion, with notes also left behind. One of the men, Sajal, was co-accused with Rakib in the same gang-rape.
\nThe vigilante’s hard-line approach went down well in neighbouring India, with some social media users calling on him to help the country tackle rape.
\nMeanwhile, others suggested this development would make a good TV show.<\/p>\n
