Man held on rape charges

A man has been arrested in Narsingdi on charge of raping a hearing-impaired woman.

Police picked up Oli Ahmed, 45, from Baganbari village under Belabo upazila yesterday, said Fakhruddin Bhuiyan, officer-in-charge of Belabo Police Station.

According to the victim, she was home alone when her neighbour Oli, a father of two children, raped her on Thursday morning.

She filed a case that night.

“Oli had been harassing me for long. I complained to his parents several times but they never took any action,” the 30-year-old victim told local journalists present at the police station.

Some medical tests were done on the victim at Narsingdi Sadar Hospital on Saturday, OC Fakhruddin said.
