On Sunday night, a gang rape case was filed at Haragach police station against Detective Branch (DB) Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Raihanul Islam. He was suspended on Monday. The case has also been handed over to the PBI. Rangpur Metropolitan Police Deputy Commissioner (crime) Abu Maruf Hossain confirmed the matter.

According to the locals, ASI Raihanul Islam of Metropolitan DB Police had a love affair with a student from class nine in Moynakuthi Kachutari area of ​​Rangpur metropolis.

Later, the girl's father became the plaintiff and the police filed a rape case accusing some unidentified persons including Raihanul Islam alias Raju and arrested him.

Rangpur Metropolitan Police Deputy Commissioner (Crime) Abu Maruf Hossain said, "The girl had mentioned a policeman named Raihanul Islam Raju in the initial interrogation. However, to confirm whether the Raju is ASI Raihanul of DB police, Raihanul is being questioned in the custody. He has been suspended since allegations were made against him."

Rangpur Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) Superintendent of Police SM Zakir Hossain said, "The girl's father had filed a case against the policeman and several others in connection with the rape. The case has been handed over to the PBI for investigation."
