Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) has informed that Majnu, who was arrested in connection with raping a female student of Dhaka University at Kurmitola in the capital, is a serial rapist.

The information was delivered at a press conference at RAB media center at Karwan Bazar at 2 pm on Wednesday after detaining Majnu from Tongi of Gazipur.

At the press conference RAB media wing Director Sarwar Bin Kashem said, Majnu is drug addicted. He is from Hatia of Noakhali. Earlier he raped a beggar and a handicapped woman. In the primary investigation he confessed that he is a serial rapist.

About the rape incident Sarwar said, on that day Majnu went to Kurmitola General Hospital due to sickness. After emerging from there he saw the DU student and targeted her to rape. Majnu got married several years ago. Her wife died. He is a hawker by profession and also involved in theft and mugging.

Mentionable, the DU student boarded on the university bus at around 5:30 pm on last Sunday to visit her friend’s home at Kurmitola in the capital. She got down from the bus at Kurmitola instead of Shewra by mistake. When she was walking towards Shewra area in the evening Majnu pressed her mouth from behind. At that time she became unconscious. Then she was raped. When she became conscious at around 10 pm she went to her friend’s home calling an auto-rickshaw. She informed her friend about the incident. Then her classmates took her to the university dormitory. Later she was taken to Dhaka Medical College Hospital. Some university teachers including proctor AKM Golam Rabbani visited her on the same night. They talked to the student and informed law enforcement agency about the incident afterwards.
