A Dhaka court has granted a three-day remand to former assistant sub-inspector (ASI) Kalimur Rahman in the case of the gang-rape of a female police constable.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Meher Nigar Suchona passed the order on Thursday afternoon, rejecting the bail plea filed by Kalimur's lawyer.
DB inspector Md Alam, also investigation officer of the case, produced Kalimur before the court with a 10-day remand plea.
The members of Detective Branch of Police arrested Kalimur Rahman, the ex-husband of the victimised police constable, from Kolatoli Beach of Cox's Bazar on Wednesday.
The forensic test report, released on Tuesday, suggested the female constable of Turag police has been raped.
However, the tests do not give conclusive results as to whether it was a gang rape.
From tests conducted on the victim after she had reported the rape, the forensic department of Dhaka Medical College found injury marks on her body, suggesting she might have been tortured for around 96 hours.
The woman was allegedly gang-raped by her ex-husband and three others between June 10 and June 13. She managed to flee and arrived at the One-Stop Crisis Centre on June 13.
