Police said, they are not worried about the medical report since there are adequate evidence to prove that the two female private
university students were raped at a Banani hotel in the capital in the last week of March.
The law enforcers have sufficient evidence to probe the incident though a medical team of Dhaka Medical College and Hospital (DMCH) claimed on Thursday that they did not find evidence of rape due to elapsing of a long period.
Dhaka Metropolitan Police’s Joint-Commissioner Krishna Pada Roy said, “The accused had confessed to their crimes. The investigation is knocking at the final stage.”
He said they were not thinking about DMC forensic test results.
“The rape allegations have been established and we have found all evidence required to prove the ghastly crime,” he said. “We have got the CID forensic test report. A charge sheet is being prepared.”
An official of the investigation team told The New Nation that they knew that the medical tests would yield no results. “But this does not mean that the girls were not raped,” the official declining to be named said.
He noted that the accused had confessed in the court and there were testimonies of witnesses also. “We have important documents in our hand also. So, the accused have no chance of going scot-free.”
An investigator said that Criminal Investigation Department’s (CID) forensic tests found evidence of rape.
The CID’s tests confirmed that DNA found on one of the rape victims’ clothes and samples from accused Nayeem matched.
Investigators have received results of tests on six mobile phones seized from the accused. They have ascertained the rape allegation after examining CCTV server machine seized from Raintree and documents relating to the stay of the accused in the hotel.
The university students filed a rape case with Banani Police on May 6 against Shafat Ahmed, Nayeem Ashraf, Sadman Sakif, Shafat’s driver Billal Hossain and his bodyguard Rahmat Ali more than a month after the incident at Raintree hotel.
The victims underwent medical tests at Dhaka Medical College as part of a legal procedure mandated by the law. The tests found no evidence of rape given that the incident took place on March 28.
