Police said Liton Mondal, a former source of police, brought two female models, including the victim, to Savar from the capital on Thursday evening, offering them a handsome amount for performing at musical programmes.

Along with an accomplice, Liton, now involved in drug peddling, took them to a room on the first floor of a six-storey building in Sobhanbagh around 9:00pm.

Liton raped one of the models at a room around 3:00am yesterday. The other model was confined to another room while Liton's accomplice stood guard outside.

At one stage, the two girls started screaming. Liton and his cohort quickly fled the scene and locals rescued the girls.

Mohsinul Kadir, officer-in-charge of Savar Police Station, said the other two accused are the building's caretaker Mokarram and security guard Mizan.

Police arrested the two but Liton is absconding, he added.
