A case has been filed against a man, accused of harassing a woman on a bus in Mohammadpur, Dhaka.
The victim, Sidratul Muntaha Rahman Tibro, lodged the complaint under the Women and Children Repression Prevention Act 2000 with Dhanmondi Police Station on Friday morning, confirmed Officer-in-Charge Kazi Mohammad Rafique Ahmed.
The accused, Mohammad Nizam Uddin, 45, who lives in a rented house in Ati Bazar, Keraniganj, was arrested by the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) from Mohammadpur on Thursday. A mobile phone was also seized from his possession during the operation.
