Madaripur cop lands in jail
A Madaripur court yesterday sent a policeman to jail in connection with a case for attempting to rape a teenage girl in Madaripur town on Sunday.
Following a case filed by the victim’s maternal uncle under Women and children Repression Prevention Act on Monday night, law enforcers detained accused Constable Moktar Hossain from Madaripur Police Lines early yesterday.
The victim, who failed to pass her SSC exams this year, is now undergoing treatment at Madaripur General Hospital with fractured right leg.
According to the case statement, Moktar, one of the neighbours of the victim, called the girl to his rented house in TB Clinic area in Madaripur town around 9:00pm on Sunday when Moktar’s pregnant wife, who went to her village home, was not present at home.
As soon the girl entered Mokter’s house, he locked the door and tried to violate the girl. But, failing to do so, he started torturing her.
Hearing her cry for help, locals went to the spot and locked the door from outside.
Sensing trouble, Mokter then pushed off the girl through the ventilator of his bed room in a bid to save himself from the public rage, leaving her severely injured.
Locals rescued the injured victim and admitted her to Madaripur General Hospital.
Victim’s uncle Farhad Bepary said, “Since her father died in a road accident about five years ago, my niece has been living with my mother as my sister is suffering from a mental disorder.”
Madaripur Additional Superintendent of Police Uttam Prasad Pathak said after hearing the matter locally, a two-member probe committee was formed to investigate the incident.
During primary investigation, the probe body found the allegation brought against him was true, he said, adding that Moktar was produced before a Madaripur court around 11:00am yesterday that sent him to jail.
