A Dhaka court on Monday, February 2, 2026, ordered the imprisonment of Biman Bangladesh Airlines Managing Director and CEO Shafiqul Rahman, his wife Bithi, and two others in a case filed over the alleged torture of an eleven-year-old domestic worker. Metropolitan Magistrate Raju Ahmed issued the order after police arrested the four from Uttara the previous night. The prosecution was represented by Sub-Inspector Tahmina Akter, who confirmed the court’s decision.

The case was filed by the victim’s father, hotel employee Golam Mostafa, who alleged that his daughter Mohona had been severely abused while working at Rahman’s residence in Uttara Sector 9. According to the complaint, Mohona was employed there in June of the previous year, and after November 2, she was no longer allowed to meet her family. On January 31, she was returned to her father with serious injuries and was later hospitalized in Gazipur. During questioning, Mohona reportedly described repeated beatings and burn injuries inflicted by Rahman, his wife, and others.

The court rejected a bail plea from the defense and ordered all four accused to remain in custody pending further proceedings.
