Mastermind Mamunur Rashid Mamun had hatched the plan to gangrape a woman on the Jahangirnagar University campus.
The drug peddler Mamun, 44, used to bring 2,000-2,500 Yaba pills regularly to sell on the JU campus. JU campus Battala was the Yaba selling ‘hotzone’ of Mamun.
Rapid Action Battalion (RAB)’s legal and media wing director Commander Khondker Al Moin stated it at a press conference held at the RAB media centre at Kawran Bazar in the capital on early Thursday, February 8 afternoon.
Earlier, the RAB arrested Mamunur Rashid Mamu from Farmgate area and the rape incident’s coordinator Murad, 22 from Naogaon on Wednesday night.
Quoting Mamun under interrogation, the RAB said Mamun started his drug business on the JU campus with the help of senior “influential” students in 2017. He was allegedly involved in sexual harassment, rape and crimes on the campus.
Commander Khondker Al Moin said at about 9:30pm on February 3 last, a wife was gangraped at a bush confining her husband at Room No. 317 of Block-‘A’ in Mir Mosharraf Hossain Hall of Jahangirnagar University.
The law enforcing agency arrested four people with the help of the hall authorities of the university after midnight following the incident. Being the plaintiff, the victim’s husband filed a gangrape case under Woman and Child Repression Prevention Act with Ashulia Police Station.
The students of different universities formed human-chains, brought out processions and staged demonstrations demanding the quick arrest of the culprits involved in the sensational gangrape and their exemplary punishment. The RAB also strengthened its intelligence monitoring to bring the criminals involved in the gangrape under the jurisdiction of law.
Arrested Murad is a Master’s student of International Relations of Jahangirnagar University. He lived at Mir Mosharraf Hossain Hall. There is general diary pending against him at Naogaon Police Station in connection with quarrel. Though the Room No. 317 was allotted in his name, he used to live in another room.
Action against those who were involved in gangrape including Mamun and Murad is under process now.
