A madrasa teacher named Aman Ullah Sagar has been arrested by the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) in connection with a widely discussed rape case in Madan upazila of Netrakona. The arrest took place early Wednesday around 4 a.m. in Gauripur, Mymensingh. According to police, Sagar is the director of a women’s madrasa in Pachhat village under Kaitail Union. The Madan police confirmed that legal proceedings are underway following his arrest.

Local residents and police sources said Sagar established the madrasa four years ago. The victim, a child, studied there while living at her grandfather’s house, as her mother worked in Sylhet. The child’s mother alleged that on November 2 last year, Sagar called her daughter to clean a mosque near the madrasa and later raped her. The girl was later found to be seven months pregnant, prompting the mother to file a case.

After the case, a video of the child’s medical examination went viral on social media, sparking criticism. Before his arrest, Sagar appeared online claiming innocence and demanded a DNA test to identify the real perpetrator.
