Mohammad Ziaur Rahman, the judge of the Magura Chief Judicial Magistrate’s Court, sentenced convict Zubayer Hossain to two years in prison and fined him Tk 100,000 on Tuesday. Lawyers said such verdict keeping the victim anonymous is unprecedented in Bangladesh. According to the dossier of the case started by the victim in 2017, Zubayer had taken her personal photos when they were in a relationship. Zubayer released the photos on Facebook when she broke up with him after coming to know about the photos. Wazeda Siddiquee, the lawyer for “Kalpo”, described the anonymity of her client in the verdict as a “breakthrough”.
