Police have detained three individuals for recording and circulating a video of a woman after she was raped in Muradnagar upazila, Cumilla, last Thursday. Authorities did not disclose the identities of those detained.
The 21-year-old woman, who is a mother of two, was raped at knifepoint in Ramchandrapur Panchkitta village. She had gone to visit her father’s house around two weeks ago. According to her case statement, a neighbor, Md Fazor Ali, 36, known for stalking her during her visits, entered her house when her family was out attending a fair. He then raped her at knifepoint and threatened to kill her if she revealed the incident.
The survivor said she screamed for help, prompting neighbors to rush to the scene, where they beat Fazor. He later fled the scene despite being injured.
A video of the survivor was recorded and circulated online, prompting police to confirm that legal action will be taken against those responsible under relevant laws.
A case was filed under the Women and Children Repression Prevention Act, 2000, at Muradnagar Police Station on Friday. Cumilla police stated that efforts are underway to arrest the accused and take appropriate legal steps.
