Woman Stripped and Assaulted in Muradnagar; Video Goes Viral, Prime Accused on the Run

Comilla Correspondent:
A disturbing incident has surfaced from Muradnagar upazila in Comilla, where a woman was allegedly raped and later publicly assaulted after being dragged out of her home. A 51-second video of the incident went viral on social media late Saturday night, sparking nationwide outrage and condemnation.

The video shows a group of 10–12 young men physically assaulting a woman while she is in a state of undress, screaming for help. The incident reportedly took place on Thursday night in Ramchandrapur Dakshin Union of the upazila.

According to the police, the woman filed a case of rape on Friday at Muradnagar Police Station, accusing one Fazor Ali (38), a resident of Baheerchar Pachkitta village and son of Shahid Mia. Since the incident, the accused has been absconding.

The victim stated that her parents were not at home during the night of the incident. She alleged that Fazor Ali came to her house and asked her to open the door. When she refused, he reportedly entered the house by force and raped her. Hearing her screams, neighbors rushed in, caught the accused, beat him, and recorded a video of the aftermath. The woman was later rescued from the scene.

Police said they had no prior information about the incident until the video began circulating online. Two police teams have been deployed to apprehend the accused, who remains on the run.

Muradnagar Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Zahidur Rahman confirmed that the victim has undergone a medical examination. “We expect to arrest the accused very soon,” he said.

He also mentioned that the victim did not initially report the public assault. “Circulating such videos on social media is a punishable offense. We are investigating the source of the video. All individuals involved in the act of stripping and assaulting the woman will be identified and brought to justice,” the OC added.

The victim’s husband has been working abroad for the past five years, and the couple has two children. The incident has triggered intense anger and tension in the local community.
