Police have arrested an autorickshaw driver for the alleged rape of a homeless alms-seeker in Chattogram.
He was taken into custody from the port city's Chandgaon area on Saturday night.
The suspect was identified as 55-year-old Md Abdul Ali, a native of Bhola’s Charfason. Ali is a resident of Chandgaon Residential Area.
The victim, a woman aged around 26, also stayed in Chandgaon Residential Area, begging for alms to survive, said Chandgaon Police Station chief Aftab Uddin.
On Mar 11, Ali took her to a field near a garage in the area and allegedly raped her.
The woman filed a complaint on Saturday leading to Abdul Ali’s arrest, the police officer said.
