A Dhaka tribunal today framed charges against Fardin Iftekhar Dihan, lone accused in the case filed over the rape and murder of an O-level student at Dhaka’s Kalabagan in January last year.
\nDihan, now in jail, pleaded not guilty and demanded justice after Judge (in charge) Zulfikar Hayat of the 7th Special Tribunal for Prevention of Repression on Women and Children, of Dhaka, read out the charges to him. The tribunal fixed March 16 for starting trial of the case.
\nOn November 11 last year, Khalid Saifullah, an inspector of Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) and also the investigation officer, submitted the charge sheet to the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate’s Court of Dhaka.
\nThe victim’s father on January 7 last year filed the case with Kalabagan Police Station against Fardin under the Women and Children Repression Prevention Act after his 17-year-old daughter was allegedly raped and murdered.
\nAccording to the case statement, Fardin manipulated the girl into going to his flat and raped her when his family members were away. The victim bled profusely and fell unconscious. Fardin then took her to a hospital to deflect blame, the complainant alleged. On January 8 the same year, Fardin gave his confessional statement before a Dhaka court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
