A Dhaka court recorded the confessional statement of Mohammad Nuruzzaman Mithu, one of the accused in the case filed over the rape of a college student in a launch cabin. The statement was recorded on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, by Metropolitan Magistrate Siddiq Azad. On the same day, the court granted a five-day remand for the other accused, Mohammad Sakib Uddin.

Both accused were produced before the court earlier in the day. Nuruzzaman voluntarily agreed to give a confessional statement, after which the investigating officer, Inspector Mohammad Mashiul Alam of Kotwali Police Station, applied to record it. The officer also sought a seven-day remand for Sakib, but the court approved five days. The case was filed by the victim’s brother at Kotwali Police Station on Monday night.

According to the case details, the 17-year-old college student was raped on Sunday while traveling on the Farhan-4 launch from Hatiya’s Tamruddin terminal to Dhaka. The investigation into the incident is ongoing under police supervision.
