On September 15, the victim's husband was admitted to Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College and Hospital and doctors there informed the victim that he needed O-positive blood for a surgery, Rab said in their release.
"As the victim went to the blood bank, Monowar, who was in front of the blood bank, assured the victim of providing blood and took her to the third floor of Shifa Vila at Monipur in Mirpur, where he raped her with the help of Mashnu Ara," it said.
