Cop closed on charge of rape attempt
An assistant sub-inspector of special branch of police was suspended and closed to the police lines for his alleged bid to rape a woman in Hizla upazila town yesterday.
The victim, Kohinur Begum, 26, wife of Md Zulhas of Baherchar village, is a passport applicant.
Kohinur said ASI Shajalal of district special branch went to her home to verify information in the morning and asked her to visit his dak bungalow with the documents.
Along with another woman I went there at noon. But the ASI tactfully drove away my partner from the spot and tried to violate me, she alleged.
Hearing the hue and cry, locals besieged the dak bangalow, rescued the woman and caught Shajalal.
On information, police rushed to the spat and detained the ASI, said Shawkat Anwar, officer in-charge of Hizla police station.
Following the allegation, I suspended the official and ordered to close him to the police lines, said police superintended Devdas Bhattachariya.
