"But we found their involvement with the incident during the investigation," the SP said, adding that their names will be included in the case.

The duo will be produced in front of the court following interrogation by police, OC Harunur Rashid Chowdhury said.

Meanwhile, the gang-rape survivor filed a rape case against Delwar, chief of "Delwar Bahini", and his second-in-command Abul Kalam, last night with Begumganj Model Police Station.

Delwar and other members of "Delwar Bahini" broke into the house of the survivor on the night of September 2 and tortured her as she had repeatedly refused Delwar's immoral proposals earlier, said the OC, quoting the case statement.

Delwar had raped the survivor twice on gunpoint over the last year, while Abul Kalam had attempted to rape her once, according to the case statement.

Delwar, who is already in police custody, will be shown arrested in the rape case filed last night, the OC said, adding that police were trying to arrest Abul Kalam.
