News Desk : Pabna Sadar Police Station Officer-in-Charge of Obaidul Huq, who was earlier withdrawn for allegedly forcing a gang-rape victim to marry one of her rapists at the police station, has been suspended on Wednesday.
Rafikul Islam, superintendent of police in Pabna said the Police Headquarters issued the suspension order.
On September 12, OC Obaidul Huq was withdrawn and Sub-Inspector Ekramul Haque suspended for the allegation.
Earlier, a mother of three has recently been married off to her ‘rapist’ at the Pabna Sadar Police Station after she was gang-raped at Dapunia area of Sadar upazila.
According to media reports, the victim, a housewife, had an extramarital affair with Russel Hossain, a youth from Shahpur Jasadal village of Pabna Sadar upazila.
On August 29, Russel and his accomplices – Hossain, Shariful Islam Ghantu, Sanju and Osman – abducted her and raped her for four days before the victim managed to flee.
Her relatives hospitalised her on September 6.
Police arrested Russel and Ghantu after the victim filed a written complaint. But the OC did not record any case and instead forced her to divorce her husband and marry Russel at the police station.
A case was later registered on September 9 over the gang-rape and all the five suspects, including Russel, were arrested.
