Gang-rape in Savar
Four accused denied bail
A Dhaka court yesterday rejected bail petitions of four accused in a case filed for violating a college girl in Savar last November.
Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Mohammad Shahidul Islam passed the order and sent them to jail after Ashraful Islam, sub-inspector of Savar Police Station, produced them before the court on expiry of their four-day remand.
The accused are Rayhan, 20, a second-year student of Shanto-Mariam University of Creative Technology in the capital, Mohidur Rahman, 21, a first-year student of Savar College, Danesh, 32, neighbour of the victim, and the victim's friend Liza, 20.
On January 4, police arrested the four for their alleged involvement in the incident.
According to the forwarding report placed before the court yesterday, police are yet to gather any vital clues about the incident and learn whereabouts of the prime accused, Jahed alias Rasu, from the four accused.
Ashraful Islam, also the investigation officer of the case, appealed to the court to confine the four accused to jail until the investigation is completed.
Earlier on January 7, the rape victim recounted her chilling tale before a judicial magistrate describing the trauma she went through in Savar last November.
The court later ordered to keep her under the custody of Bangladesh Jatiya Mahila Ainjibi Samity for security.
