Cop sent to jail in rape case

A Dhaka court today sent a police official to jail after he was arrested and produced before the court in connection with a rape case.

Rakib Hossain Bappy, a sub-inspector (SI) of Mirpur Model Police Station, was produced before the Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate’s court this afternoon after he was arrested in a case filed with Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station in connection with rape of a woman.

Metropolitan Magistrate Sadbir Yasir Ahsan Chowdhury sent the arrestee to jail until completion of investigation into the case and fixed January 7 for hearing of a petition seeking Rakib’s bail in the case.

SI Rakib allegedly raped the victim and made video of the incident after seducing her with assurance of marriage.

The victim later filed the case with Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station last night accusing SI Rakib, who was arrested from Dhaka’s Agargaon area on the same night.
