One held over rape of woman in capital

A woman was allegedly raped by her husband's friend in Dhaka's Rampura.

Police arrested the alleged rapist -- Mohor Ali (28) -- after she filed a case with Rampura Police Station on Sunday.

She was sent to the one-stop crisis centre at Dhaka Medical College Hospital the same night for medical tests.

Rezaul Karim, a sub-inspector of Rampura Police Station, said the woman and her husband had an altercation around 10pm on Saturday and the husband stormed out in anger.

Mohor called her and said her husband was staying at his home, nearby their residence. He asked her to come by to take her husband back home.

When she went there, she did not find her husband. Mohor then raped the woman, the SI said, quoting the case statement.
