A court in Tangail issued warrant for arresting former Basail Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) in a rape case filed last year.
Judge Monira Sultana issued the warrant against former UNO Md Manjur Hossain after the allegations brought against him were proved primarily through an investigation.
According to the court, the accused Manjur, who is serving as OSD at the public administration ministry, created a relationship with a college girl through social media Facebook in 2021 when he was the UNO.
He allegedly raped the girl on the pretext of marriage and used to live in a rented house identifying themselves as couple.
