SI sent to jail for raping teenager, video-recording acts

A court in Dhaka has ordered to send a sub-inspector of police to jail in connection with raping a teenage girl and video-recording the acts on mobile phone promising her to marry.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Sadbir Yeasin Ahsan Chowdhury on Friday passed the order after Abdur Rakib Khan Bappy, SI at Mirpur Model Police Station, was produced before the court.

Earlier on Thursday, a teenage girl lodged a case against SI Bappy with Sher-e-Bangla Nagar accusing him of raping and videotaping the acts.

Police, however, has sent the victim to One Stop Crisis Center (OCC) at Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) to conduct her medical test.

The victim told Jago News that there have been five years she is in a love affair with Bappy. 

Amid this, he several times raped her with promise of marriage but recently he has started shilly-shallying to keep his pledge. 

She went on to say, "Bappy called me in a house in city's Agargaon this morning (Thursday). After she went there, he showed her some obscene videos. Then, he forcefully violated her intimidating to circulate the video on social media."

"From there I straighly came to Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station. His family and police tried much to convince me to come a settlement but I registered the lawsuit," the victim added. 

After the case was lodged, police arrested accused Bappy.
