The court has taken cognizance of the chargesheet filed against Majnu in the Dhaka University student rape case in the capital's Kurmitola. The date of hearing of the complaint has been fixed for August 26.
Judge Begum Mosammat Kamrunnahar of Dhaka's Women and Child Abuse Suppression Tribunal-6 passed the order on Sunday (August 16).
Earlier, the Dhaka Metropolitan Detective Police (DB) had filed a chargesheet against Majnu in the Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's (CMM) court on March 16 in a case of rape of a Dhaka University student. 16 people were called as witnesses in the charge sheet of the case. 20 types of items including mobile phones of the victim student have been seized as evidence of the case.
The police reported to the court that on January 5, the student of Dhaka University reached the place adjacent to the golf club by walking on the sidewalk from the Kurmitola bus stand in the capital. At that time the accused Majnu picked her up and raped her. The student's father filed a case with the Cantonment Police Station. Later, RAB-1 raided and arrested Majnu.
On January 9, the CMM court in Dhaka allowed Majnu to be remanded for seven days for questioning. Majnu confessed to raping a Dhaka University student and testified in court on January 16. Police told the court that the accused Majnu was a serial rapist. He had been raping disabled and traveling women.
