Dhaka, August 22, 2025 – A female constable at South Keraniganj Police Station in Dhaka has accused her colleague, Constable Safiur Rahman, of raping her repeatedly over five months inside the station’s barracks, prompting an investigation by the Dhaka District Police. Both the complainant and the accused have been attached to the police lines as the probe is underway.
The female constable alleges that Safiur Rahman entered her room in the barracks on the second day of Eid-ul-Fitr during Ramadan and raped her while she was alone. She further claimed that he recorded the assault on his phone and used the video to intimidate her into enduring repeated assaults. On August 19, she filed a complaint with Inspector Al Amin, the investigation officer at South Keraniganj Police Station, but no immediate action was taken. The victim alleged that Inspector Al Amin, who hails from the same area as the accused, initially ignored her complaint. When approached by Somoy News, Al Amin reportedly attempted to flee upon seeing the camera but later denied the allegations against him.
