Man arrested over rape of NGO worker in Bagerhat, three others absconding

A female NGO worker has allegedly been gang-raped at her Maitkumra house at Fakirhat of Bagerhat district. 

Police arrested Mamun Sheikh, 30, today in this connection.

The victim filed a case against four people -- Mamun Sheikh, Firoz Nikari, 29, Raju, 25, and Musa, 29, -- in this regard on the same day. 

One of them is a driver of a three-wheeler and three others are construction and agriculture workers, police said. 

Pankaj Chandra Roy, superintendent of police of the district, said the four 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 owner of the victim's house said the woman is married but she was staying alone in a rented room due to her job.   

The 25-year-old victim was sent to Sadar Hospital for medical tests.
