The Rapid Action Battalion on Friday said Bahauddin Ivan had confessed to raping a university student after inviting her to his birthday party.
At a press briefing on Friday morning, the RAB said 28-year-old Bahauddin, who was arrested following a rape case filed by the girl on Wednesday morning, confessed to raping her at his Banani residence.
RAB’s law and media wing director, Mufti Mahmud Khan, said a team of RAB-11 arrested Bahauddin from his aunt’s residence in Narayanganj’s Fatullah upazila on Thursday afternoon.
According to the case statement, Bahauddin, son of a businessman living at NAM Village apartments in Banani, requested the university student’s presence at his home to celebrate his birthday party there.
Responding to the call, the victim went to his house on Tuesday night, but found that there was no one but Bahauddin.
At one stage, host Bahauddin raped the girl around 1:00am early Wednesday. Later, Bahauddin forced the girl out of his house around 3:30am in the night.
Following the incident, the victim on Wednesday morning filed the case accusing Bahauddin of raping her.
