Police have arrested a 22-year-old man named Md Jahangir Alam
for raping a teenager in Chattogram.
He was arrested on Monday (July 12th) night from the Agrabad
CDA residential area of the city. The arrested Md Jahangir Alam is the son of
Wahid of Mohanpur village under Chandina police station in Comilla district.
According to the police, Jahangir edited the picture of the
girl and made a nude picture, and raped her as frightening her of spreading the
picture. After trying to rape her twice more, the girl defended herself by
sprinkling pepper powder in the eyes of the accused.

Mohammad Mohsin said the victim was a 14-year-old girl. A ninth-grader at a
local school. Jahangir often annoyed the victim and wanted to talk. But Victim
didn't care. One day when no one was there, Jahangir came to his house. When
the victim tried to shout, Jahangir showed her some nude pictures.
‘‘Jahangir originally made this nude photo by editing
Victim's picture. The 14-year-old girl was raped for fear of spreading these
pictures on social media,’’ said OC Mohsin.
He added that the victim switched off his mobile phone
immediately after the incident. But she did not tell anyone about the incident
for fear of public embarrassment. A few days later, Jahangir came again. But as
soon as she saw him coming to the house, the victim sprinkled pepper powder in her
eyes and defended herself like that day. Then Jahangir came once more. Victim
defends himself by sprinkling chili powder in the same manner. Jahangir tried
to injure the girl in another way as he could not get close for fear of pepper
powder. He was arrested after calling 999 today.
OC Mohsin said the victim's mother had filed a case against
Jahangir under the Women and Child Abuse Prevention Act.
