Police on Monday sought a seven-day remand for four youths arrested in connection with the rape incident in Cumilla's Muradnagar.

The accused are Sumon, Ramjan Ali, Md Babu and Md Anik, said Cumilla Court Inspector Sadequr Rahman on Monday.

Meanwhile, the victim decided to proceed with the case, despite initially considering withdrawal after her husband and local residents advised her to do so, reports UNB.

Earlier, police arrested the prime accused, Fazar Ali Fazar, 36, from Sutrapur area in Dhaka early Sunday.

He is the son of Shahid Mia of Bahechar (Purbo Para) village in Muradnagar Upazila of Cumilla.

Since he was beaten during the incident, he is currently receiving treatment at Comilla Medical College Hospital.

Police are also trying to arrest Fazar Ali's brother Shah Paran.

The 25-year-old Hindu woman was allegedly raped while visiting her father's home in the village of Ramchandrapur Panchkitta in Muradnagar last Thursday night.

Fazar Ali is accused of raping her, while the other four charged under the Pornography Control Act, 2012 captured video footage and spread it on the internet.

The video footage of the incident went viral on social networking sites on Saturday.

The High Court on Sunday asked the Bangladesh Telecommunication and Regulatory Commission (BTRC) to take steps to remove the video clips of the incident. The bench of Justice Fahmida Quader and Justice Sayed Jahed Mansur asked BTRC to submit a progress report in this regard on July 14.

The HC also asked the authorities concerned to ensure the safety and security of the plaintiff, as well as any medical services she may need.
