A deeply disturbing case has emerged from kolkata, where an indian Army personnel has been arrested for allegedly raping and blackmailing a housewife under false pretenses. The accused, 34-year-old Monibur Rahman, reportedly introduced himself as an indian Army sepoy and exploited the woman's vulnerability by promising to help secure bail for her jailed husband. Posing as a man of authority with influence in legal circles, Monibur allegedly gained the trust of the woman, only to later take advantage of her in a horrifying manner. According to police reports, he lured her to a luxury hotel in the upscale Park Street area and committed the alleged assault.
The case took a darker turn when Monibur reportedly began cohabiting with the woman against her will, using threats and blackmail to silence her. The FIR details how he warned her that he would leak intimate photos and make them viral on social media — a threat that dates back to 2024. The survivor eventually gathered the courage to approach the police, resulting in a case being filed under Sections 64(1) (rape) and 351(2) (criminal intimidation) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, India’s newly implemented criminal code. The emotional and psychological toll inflicted on the survivor highlights the gravity of the crime, which combines both physical violation and psychological manipulation.
During the investigation, authorities confirmed that Monibur rahman is an active-duty sepoy in the indian Army. His arrest by the kolkata police has sent shockwaves across both civilian and military communities. While the indian Army is yet to issue an official statement, public outrage is mounting, with many demanding strict punishment and a transparent inquiry. The incident has once again raised concerns about abuse of power, exploitation of vulnerable individuals, and the urgent need for robust mechanisms to support survivors. It also underlines how predators often weaponize positions of perceived authority to silence victims — a pattern that must be broken with swift justice and institutional accountability.
