Cops let evidence degrade: victim
A 22-year-old man of Gazipur allegedly used the intimate footage of his relationship with a teenager to blackmail and rape her.
The girl, 17, filed a complaint with Sreepur Police Station on October 25 but police took the case into cognisance four days later during which evidence was lost, the victim claimed.
She said she filed the complaint against Rubel, 22, and his friend Rayhan alias Rashed, 21, for raping her and Rubel's father Shahjahan, 45, for aiding and abetting.
Rubel had been pursuing her for some time and had managed to have a relationship with her. On the morning of September 8, they had intercourse and Rubel taped the incident with his phone, the complainant said.
The girl said Rubel raped her several times later on by blackmailing her with the footage. He had told her that he would release the footage unless she complied with his wishes.
On October 24, Rubel called her and told her that he would delete the video clip if she went to him at night. When the girl went out of her home, Rubel and Rayhan were waiting, the girl said in the complaint.
They took her to a deserted place near DBL Ceramic Factory at Nayanpur where she was raped again. Rayhan tried to rape her too but she managed to flee, the girl claimed.
She said police kept her at the police station for 24 hours from Monday morning to Tuesday morning in the name of medical tests. She claimed that police, influenced by the accused and his family, were dillydallying with the case.
About keeping her waiting, Sub-Inspector Zakir Hossen of Sreepur Police Station said an initiative was taken to arrange a marriage between the girl and Rubel, but it did not materialise.
He said the girl would be sent to Gazipur Shaheed Tajuddin Ahmad Medical College Hospital for tests.
Zakir claimed that they took the complaint into the cognisance on Monday and were trying to arrest the accused.
