A college girl was allegedly raped by an Awami League leader of Tangail at gunpoint at his residence in the Uttara area of the capital on Friday.
The rape survivor girl filed a case under the Women and Children Repression and Prevention Act against him with Turag police station early Saturday, said the police station’s Officer-in-Charge (OC), Mostafa Anowar.
Accused Golam Kibria, alias Boro Monir, vice president of the Tangail city unit Awami League, took the girl to his flat in the Priyanka city residential area (R/A) in Uttara and raped her there, according to the case statement.
Receiving a call from national emergency service 999, police rescued the girl from the flat on Friday night but did not find the accused there during the drive, the OC said.
The rape survivor's mother alleged that a woman was involved in the rape incident.
She also alleged that police were dilly-dallying to take the case from Friday night, and they were pressuring them to file a case against unidentified people.
OC Mostafa said legal action in this connection is underway.
