Woman under pressure to withdraw rape case
A man is apparently putting pressure on a woman, whom he allegedly raped, to withdraw the rape case in Manikganj.
The 25-year-old woman alleged that Shyamdas Rajbongshi, 30, who is a married person and also her neighbour, is threatening her with dire consequences.
The woman, who is a college student, said Shyamdas had filed a case against the witnesses of the rape case just to harass them.
She further alleged that Shyamdas' two accomplices recorded the rape incident on cellphones.
She filed a case on August 4 last year with a Manikganj court, accusing Shyamdas of raping her and two unidentified persons of videoing the incident on July 14 the same year.
After investigation, Ghior police submitted a charge sheet on January 1 this year against Shyamdas and his brother-in-law Sujon Rajbongshi.
Police arrested Shyamdas on January 7. He was released on bail on March 27. The next date to hear the rape case is April 26.
Shyamdas filed a case on April 11 this year with another Manikganj court accusing all seven witnesses of the rape case of beating him on April 9 in Ghior area.
Shyamdas could not be contacted as this correspondent did not find him at his home and found his cellphone switched off several times.
