Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI)’s Special Crime (South) branch on Tuesday arrested Saifa Rahman Mim for interrogation in a case filed over the rape and murder of college student Mosarat Jahan Munia.
She was arrested from her Dhanmondi residence in Dhaka, said Md Abu Yusuf, PBI additional superintendent of police (Law and Media Branch).
On September 6 last year, Munia's elder sister Nusrat Jahan Tania filed the case against Bashundhara Group MD Sayem Sobhan Anvir and seven others with Dhaka's Eighth Tribunal for Prevention of Women and Children's Repression.
The court, after recording the complaint, directed the PBI to submit a report on it.
On April 26, police recovered the body of the 21-year-old victim hanging from a ceiling fan of her bedroom in a Gulshan flat.
Later that night, Tania filed the case against Anvir, accusing him of incitement to suicide.
According to Tania, Munia was in a relationship with Anvir who regularly visited her at the Gulshan apartment.
The seven other accused in the case are Anvir’s parents -- Bashundhara Group's Chairman Ahmed Akbar Sobhan Shah Alam and Afroza Begum, Anvir's wife Sabrina Sayem, model Faria Mahbub Piyasha, friend Saifa Rahman Mim, flat owner Ibrahim Ahmed Ripon and his wife Sharmim Akhter.
