A case was filed on Thursday against Barhatta upazila parishad chairman in Netrakona for attempted rape.
A widow, aged 20, filed the case against Manik Azad, said Badrul Alam Khan, officer-in-charge of Barhatta Police Station.
At around 9:00pm on Thursday night, Manik, 47, went to the house of the woman and attempted to rape her, the OC said quoting the case statement.
After she screamed out for help, her neighbours arrived at the scene and roughed up Manik, he said, adding that the attacker however managed to run away and police are still trying to arrest him.
Despite repeated attempts, this correspondent was unable to reach Manik on his cellphone for his comments over the accusation.
