| [Dhaka Tribune] A female NGO worker has allegedly been gang-raped at her Maitkumra house in Fakirhat upazila of Bagerhat district. Police arrested Mamun Sheikh, 30, early Sunday after the rape survivor filed a case against four people -- Mamun Sheikh, Firoz Nikari, 29, Raju, 25, and Musa, 29, -- in this regard. One of the accused is a three-wheeler driver and three others are construction and agriculture workers, police said. Pankaj Chandra Roy, Superintendent of Police of the district, said the four miscreants entered the victim's house at night and raped her in turns. Police seized a video of the incident which was recorded by the rapists to blackmail her, Pankaj said. The culprits also looted Tk 16,000 and gold ornaments from the victim's house. Patrol police arrested one of them but three others managed to flee, the SP said. "We're on a manhunt to catch others," he added. The houseowner of the victim said the woman is married but she was staying alone in a rented room due to her job. The 25-year-old woman was sent to Sadar Hospital for medical tests. Local people demanded immediate arrest of the rapists. |
