DHAKA, May 26, 2019 (BSS) – Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) today
submitted its investigation report in the case lodged against former officer-
in-Charge (OC) of Sonagazi Police Station Moazzem Hossain for recording
Nusrat Jahan Rafi’s statement on video and spreading it online.
Investigation officer and PBI senior ASP Rima Sultana filed the report at
Bangladesh Cyber Tribunal, saying they have found the allegations brought
against the police official true.
Supreme Court lawyer Barrister Syed Sayedul Haque Suman filed the case on
April 15 with Bangladesh Cyber Tribunal this afternoon under section 26, 29
and 31 of Digital Security Act (DSA).
Recording the testimony of the plaintiff, Judge Mohammad As-Shams Jaglul
Hossain of Bangladesh Cyber Tribunal asked deputy inspector general of Police
Bureau of Investigation (PBI) to submit probe report on April 30.
According to the allegations, the former Sonagazi OC summoned Nusrat as
she filed a case against Sonagazi Islamia Senior Fazil Madrasa principal
Sirajuddoula for sexual harassment.
The police official in his room started quizzing her about the incident
and was recording the whole incident in absence of any lawyer or female cop.
He was heard scolding her and asking Nusrat indecent questions. Moazzem later
posted the video on different social media sites.
Nusrat was set on fire on April 6 by Sirajuddoula’s stooges and succumbed
to her injuries at Dhaka Medical College Hospital on April 10.
Nusrat had accused Sirajuddoula of harassing her sexually on March 27
while she was exposed to his extreme vengeance on April 6 as she went to the
madrasa to appear in Alim examination.
A group of masked youths, later found to be the cronies of the disgraced
principal, took Nusrat to the rooftop of the madrasa and set her on fire
after tying her with her scarf.
