UNb, Narayanganj :
Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) members have arrested the imam of a mosque for reportedly raping a minor girl in Fatulla.
The elite force also picked up five of his followers who tried to hush up the incident and threatened the victim’s family with dire consequences.
The arrestees are Md Fazlur Rahman alias Rafiqul Islam, 45, imam of a mosque in Chanmari in Uttar Chashara of Fatulla, and his followers
Md Ramjan Ali, Md Gias Uddin, Habib-e-Elahi alias Hobi, Md Motahar Hossain and Md Sharif.
Rab-11 made the arrests on Tuesday after the victim’s father filed a complaint against the imam.
The victim’s family said they took the girl to the Imam after Fajr prayers on August 2 as she used to have bad dreams during her sleep. The imam raped the girl on the excuse of exorcising her after sending her father outside for bringing candle light.
