Rape of Woman: Mirpur SI sent to jail
A Dhaka court yesterday sent a police official to jail on charges of rape.
The accused is Abdur Rakib Khan Bappi, sub-inspector (SI) of Mirpur Police Station.
On Thursday night, a woman filed a case with Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station alleging that SI Bappi raped her by making fake promises of marriage, said police.
Metropolitan Magistrate Sadbir Yasir Ahsan Chowdhury passed the order yesterday after Rezaul Karim, investigation officer of the case, prayed for passing an order to imprison SI Bappi until the investigation ends.
The court also fixed Tuesday for hearing a petition filed by SI Bappi’s lawyer seeking his client’s bail.
Jane Alam Munshi, officer-in-charge of Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station, said they immediately sent the victim to One-Stop Crisis Centre of Dhaka Medical College Hospital for medical tests.
SI Bappi, hailing from Kishoreganj’s Tarail, was arrested in Agargaon area of the capital the same day, he added.
