Rape of 4 Ctg women

‘Mastermind’ held

STAFF REPORTER, Ctg

Abu Sama, 45, the prime suspect in a gang-rape case arrested on Tuesday, gave a confessional statement before a Chittagong court yesterday in connection with the incident in which four women were raped in a house in Chittagong.

The Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) yesterday (Wednesday) produced Abu Sama before the court of Metropolitan Magistrate Abu Saleh Md Noman. At around 1pm the case investigation officer, Santosh Kumar Chakma, produced the accused before the court. The PBI arrested two men in connection with the incident. The other accused, Mizan Mattabor, gave his confessional statement before the court of Chittagong Metropolitan Magistrate Al Imran on Tuesday.

Four robbers had entered a house, located in an area under the Karnaphuli Police Station in Chittagong, and raped the four women one after another on the night of December 12, while one of the gang members waited outside, Abu Sama told the Chittagong court yesterday while the judge recorded the confessional statement.

"In the confessional statement Abu Sama gave information about six people. Four had entered that home and raped the four women. Another, according to Sama, who had brought them to commit robbery, was a resident of the village. Sama said he did not know what had happened inside the home as he did not enter but he was in the gang," said Nirmalendo Bikash Chakrabarty, additional deputy commissioner (prosecution) of the Chittagong Metropolitan Police. 

The other accused, Mizan Mattabor, gave his confessional statement before the court of Chittagong Metropolitan Magistrate Al Imran, said Nirmalendo Bikash Chakrabarty.

Four robbers committed the crime led by Abu Sama. Abu Sama is a village resident and the other four were outsiders. During the incident, Abu Sama had waited outside the house.  According to the case history, a gang of robbers had entered the home of an UAE expatriate by breaking a window around midnight on December 12. 

In the absence of any male member of the family, the robbers raped the four women at gunpoint. They left around 3 am, carrying away cash, jewellery, and mobile phones. One of the victims was an expectant mother, two others were her sisters-in-law, and the fourth was a relative, who had come to visit the family.

The women reportedly went to the Karnaphuli Police Station the next day to lodge a complaint. But the police allegedly refused to file the case because of a complication about their address.

However, following intervention by state minister for land Saifuzzaman Chowdhury Javed, police finally filed a case five days after the incident. Moreover, it was alleged that police delayed arresting the accused even though a case had been filed.
