A court in Kushtia has sentenced Jony Hossain, also known as Rajim, to life imprisonment for raping a college student under the false promise of marriage. The verdict was delivered on Wednesday afternoon by Judge Zainal Abedin of the Women and Children Repression Prevention Tribunal in Kushtia, in the absence of the accused. Jony, aged 30, from Bahirchar Union in Veramara upazila, was also fined 100,000 taka, with an additional six months of imprisonment if unpaid.
According to the case details, Jony met the victim through social media, falsely claiming to be a member of the armed forces. He first raped her on January 1, 2022, when her parents were away, and continued the assaults under the pretext of marriage, leading to her pregnancy. When the matter became known, he demanded 800,000 taka from the victim’s family, which her expatriate father paid. After receiving the money, Jony cut off contact and tried to defame her.
The victim gave birth to a son on March 2, 2023, and filed a case on June 22, 2023. DNA tests confirmed Jony’s involvement, leading to his conviction. He was arrested in July 2023 but later released on bail and is currently absconding.
