According to the case statement, a widow lodged a General Diary (GD) with Panchagarh Police Station on April 30, 2020 over a disputed land issue.

Abdul Jalil, who was working as a sub-inspector at the police station, developed an illicit relationship with the woman during the investigation and raped her for months by making a fake marriage registry document.

At one stage, when the woman put pressure on him for the marriage document, the SI denied marrying her.

Finding no solution, the victim filed a case with the court on October 6, 2020 and the court ordered the investigation of the matter to the additional district magistrate who submitted a report before the court last Thursday.

Examining the report, the tribunal today issued the arrest warrant against the SI.
