Muradnagar rape: Court grants 3-day remand for 4 accused

A Cumilla court on Thursday granted a three-day remand for four individuals accused in the Muradnagar rape and video circulation case.

Judge Mominul Haque of the Cumilla Senior Judicial Magistrate’s Court issued the order following a remand hearing earlier in the day.

Md Sadekur Rahman, inspector of the Cumilla court, said the police had requested a seven-day remand for each accused, but the court approved a three-day remand under two separate cases filed under the Women and Children Repression Prevention Act and the Pornography Control Act.

According to case details, on June 26, the victim was raped by one Fajar Ali, who also recorded a video that was later circulated on social media. The victim subsequently filed cases under the relevant laws.

Police have arrested Fajar Ali and three others in connection with the incident.
