Rape of B'desh Hindu woman sparks anger, BNP 'supporter' held

Dhaka: The alleged rape of a 26-year-old minority Hindu woman in Bangladesh’s Cumilla district by a “supporter” of former PM Khaleda Zia’s BNP has sparked widespread outrage, with the High Court directing that the video of her assault, which went viral on social media, be removed immediately and she be given police protection.Fazar Ali has been arrested on the charge of rape while four others are accused of making and circulating the video, said authorities, who have also been directed to ensure medical support to the woman. HC asked them to file a report within 15 days on the progress of investigations into the Thursday night incident. The video surfaced online on Saturday night.Condemning the incident and demanding exemplary punishment, BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said there is a “dangerous conspiracy afoot to damage BNP’s reputation”. The party is yet to clarify whether Fazar was linked to it. Fakhrul claimed the woman was a Hindu expatriate’s wife.Fazar, after the Sheikh Hasina-led Awami League govt’s fall last year, started introducing himself as a BNP member and attending its programmes, according to sources in political parties. He’s seen in photos of BNP’s Ramchandrapur South Union office’s inauguration on Dec 14 last year.University students, including in Dhaka, held marches in solidarity with the victim, calling for justice. While Naripokkho, a women’s rights body, called on citizens to break silence and resist violence against women, human rights organisations such as Ain o-Salish Kendra and Manusher Jonno Foundation called for “swift trial and exemplary punishment”. The woman filed a case on Friday. She said she had come with her children to visit her parents, and on Thursday night, Fazar came to her house and asked her to open the door. When she refused, he broke the door, entered the house and raped her, according to authorities.
