Bithi, wife of former Biman Bangladesh Airlines Managing Director Shafiqul Rahman, confessed in court to charges of abusing an eleven-year-old domestic worker. Her statement was recorded on Saturday, February 21, 2026, by Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Ismail Hossain, who subsequently ordered her to be sent to jail. The confession followed her remand period, after which she voluntarily agreed to give a statement, confirmed by the complainant’s lawyer S.M. Piarul Islam Nasim.
According to the case, the child’s father, Golam Mostafa, had placed his daughter in the Rahman household in June of the previous year. He last saw her healthy on November 2, but later discovered severe injuries on her body when she was returned on January 31. The child alleged that Shafiqul Rahman, Bithi, and others had repeatedly beaten and burned her with heated utensils. Mostafa filed the case on February 1, leading to the arrests of Shafiqul, Bithi, and two others.
Earlier, both Shafiqul and Bithi were placed on remand, and several co-accused, including domestic workers, also gave statements or were sent to jail following interrogation.
