A 28-year-old woman filed a rape case against two people, including a businessman, with the Doublemooring Police Station in Chattogram in May.
After an investigation, the police concluded that it was a false case designed to harass the businessman due to a rivalry. The woman had been pushed into filing the case.
Her name was recorded in the case details as Sharifa Begum but police identified her as a Rohingya refugee called Sufia Begum during the investigation.
Sufia alias Sharifa had previously married a Bangladeshi national and filed a case against him as well.
Sufia took these actions apparently for money and was instigated by a nexus of people engaged in illegal acts.
“Criminals have been harassing different people in Chattogram by filing cases against them. Now they are using the
Rohingya women to file false cases against men by paying them money,” Doublemooring Police Station chief AKM Mohiuddin Selim told bdnews24.com.
They even secure reports from the One-Stop Crisis Centre or OCC in Chattogram Medical College Hospital before filing false cases, he said.
