The rape case was lodged against Prince Mamun by Laila at the Cantonment Police Station in Dhaka, where she accused him of sexually assaulting her while promising to marry her.
Laila told local media she met Mamun on Facebook three years ago and he had promised to marry her. Mamun started living in Laila's residence on 7 January 2022, with his parents occasionally visiting.
Despite Laila's repeated requests for marriage, Mamun allegedly postponed the decision. On 14 March, when Laila insisted on marriage again, Mamun reportedly became furious and forcibly raped her, accompanied by verbal abuse.
The case is currently under investigation, and Prince Mamun is expected to appear before the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Court in Dhaka today (11 June), as confirmed by OC Shahinur Rahman.
