A petition has been filed with the High Court seeking order to remove a video clip from the social media of torturing a housewife after undressing her in Begumganj upazila of Noakhali.
Supreme Court Bar Association President Advocate AM Amin Uddin confirmed the matter to The Business Post.
The High Court bench of Justice Mujibur Rahman Miah and Justice Mohiuddin Shamim will hear the petition today (Monday).
A housewife in Noakhali's Begumganj upazila was allegedly molested by some local miscreants in Ward No. 9 of Eklashpur Union of the upazila last month and a disturbing video of the barbaric incident went viral on the internet.
The incident sparked widespread outrage on social media.
Five youths including Delwar, chief of the local 'Delwar Bahini' and his assistants Badal, Kalam and Abdur Rahim, allegedly molested the housewife on September 2.
Four people have been arrested in the case so far.
A team of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) arrested the prime accused Badal from Kamrangirchar area around 3am on Monday and another team arrested Delwar, another suspect, from Dhaka-Chattogram highway in Narayanganj, said Lt Col Khandaker Saifur Alam, commanding officer of RAB-11.
Earlier, police arrested Rahim on Sunday afternoon and one Rahmat Ullah around 10pm the same day.
The accused stripped the housewife naked and beat her despite her crying for mercy after tying up her husband at her father’s house in the upazila.
A video of the incident came to the notice of District Superintendent of Police (SP) Mohammad Alamgir Hossain and he directed the Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Begumganj Model Police Station Harun Aur Rashid Chowdhury to take action in this regard.
