In Lalmonirhat, a Jamaat activist was held yesterday on charge of attempt to rape a woman at Khatapara village of Aditmari upazila, reports a correspondent.
Arrestee Abdul Goni, 48, is son of late Ebtar Ali of the village.
Police said, the arrestee is also a fake kobiraj (village doctor).
They said, a newly married woman from the neighboring Harati village came to him for treatment yesterday morning.
Taking the advantage of being a lone patient, the fake kobiraj tried to rape her at his room. Locals rescued the woman hearing her cry for help, police said.
Abdul Goni has no license to conduct kobiraj business, they said.
Meanwhile, the wife of the arrestee claimed that her husband is an activist of Lalmonirhat district Jamaat-e-Islami.
Police arrested him on false charges as he is a Jamaat man, she alleged.
