Court Nods to Conduct Fardin's Drug Test

A Dhaka court has allowed police to conduct a drug test on Fardin Iftekhar Dihan, the lone accused in a case filed over the rape and murder of an 'O' level student of Mastermind School in the Kalabagan area.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Begum Yeasmin Ara passed the order on Wednesday.

Earlier, Investigation Officer AFM Asaduzzaman, also an inspector of Kalabagan Police Station, filed a petition in this regard.

The victim's father Md Al Amin on Thursday night filed the case with Kalabagan Police Station accusing Iftekhar Fardin Dihan of killing her daughter after gang-rape.

In the case statement, the plaintiff alleged that Dihan tricked his daughter into going to his flat and raped her when his family members were not home.

Due to rape, the victim bled profusely and became unconscious. Dihan then took her to the hospital to deflect blame, the victim's father alleged.
