A housewife was raped allegedly by her husband's friend in Dhaka's Rampura area.

Police arrested the alleged rapist -- Mohor Ali (28) -- after the victim filed a case with Rampura Police Station yesterday.

The victim was sent to the one-stop crisis centre at Dhaka Medical College Hospital last night for forensic tests.

Rezaul Karim, a sub-inspector of Rampura Police Station, said the victim and her husband had an altercation over a family row around 10:00pm on Saturday and the husband stormed out in anger.

Then Mohor called the woman over the phone and told her that her husband was staying at his home, nearby the victim's one. He asked her to come take her husband back home.

When she went there, she did not find her husband. Mohor then raped the woman, the SI said, quoting the case statement.
