Without revealing any detail about the contents, the Dhaka Medical College forensic department yesterday handed over its forensic report on actress Naznin Akther Happy – who recently stirred controversy by filing a case against cricketer Rubel Hossain – to the Mirpur police station.
Asked about the outcome of the report, Prof Dr Habibuzzaman Chowdhury, head of the DMC forensic department, refused to comment, saying the police would be able to clarify on the issue as it was their case.
However, a source in the forensic department said the forensic tests had found no evidence of rape; a different source inside the Mirpur police station also corroborated the claim.
The report, however, would only be able to identify forced sexual intercourse and not show any evidence of rape if sexual intercourse had taken place consensually, said Bilkis Begum, coordinator of the One Stop Crisis Centre at the DMCH.
Happy’s forensic tests were conducted on December 14, a day after she filed a case with the Mirpur police station against Rubel Hossain.
Investigation officer Masud Parvez and Mirpur acting OC Moinul Islam both refused to comment; the former claiming to be on leave, while the latter said he was away from office at the time.
