Judge of the Women and Children Repression Prevention Tribunal Joyshree Somaddar ordered judicial inquiry into the allegation.
OC Wazed Ali Mia, and SIs ASM Mahmudul Hasan and Laizu were accused of abetting the crime as they refused to record a case over the ‘gang-rape’.
The other accused are Md Shafiqul Islam Roni, Md Sagar, Md Shamim, Md Alauddin Delwar Hossain, Md Hanif, Md Swapon, Bilkis Akhter and Farzana Akhter.
According to the case statement, Farzana and Bilkis took the victim, a mother of two who had desperately been looking for a job, to a flat at Karachitala on March 12 last in the name of giving her job.
However, Swapon, son of the house owner, violated her and recoded the incident on his mobile phone.
Later, 10-12 more people raped her in turns, said victim’s lawyer Md Jakir Hossain Hawladar.
The victim went to Jatrabari Police Station to file a case in this regard.
However, police demanded Tk 1 lakh for recording the case and threatened to file a ‘false’ case against her if otherwise.
On March 18, police produced the victim before a court levelling her as a sex worker as she failed to pay the bribe, the lawyer said, adding that they did it to hush up the gang-rape incident.
