A Noakhali court today sent Delwar, chief of "Delwar Bahini", to jail in connection with the torture and gang-rape of a woman in Noakhali's Begumganj upazila.

Judge of Noakhali Chief Judicial Magistrate's Court Mashfiqul Haque passed the order after police produced him before the court this morning, said Mamnur Rashid Patwari, sub-inspector of Noakhali's Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI).

Following an application filed by Begumganj Police Station sub-inspector Mostak Ahmed, the court also showed Delwar arrested in two other cases filed under the Women and Children Repression (Prevention) Act and under the Pornography Control Act over the incident.
