Fojor Ali, the main accused in the rape of an expatriate's wife in Muradnagar, Cumilla, has been arrested by police from the Sayedabad area of the capital. Additionally, four more individuals have been arrested on charges of recording the rape video, filming the victim unclothed, and disseminating the video on social media.
This information was confirmed in a press release signed by Cumilla District Superintendent of Police Nazir Ahmed Khan on Sunday (June 29) morning.
The arrested individuals are Fojor Ali (the alleged rapist) and Anik, Sumon, Ramjan, and Babu, who were involved in recording the video. All of them are residents of Panchkitta village in Ramchandrapur Dakshin Union, Muradnagar.
Police reported that on Thursday (June 26) night, Fojor Ali, son of Shahid Mia from Panchkitta village, cunningly opened the door and raped a woman who had come to visit her father's home in Muradnagar from Homna.
