Saturday, Mamun said in an emotionless voice the rape was "recorded secretly" to tarnish his political and business image.
This is the second such incident after a gang in Faridpur in July raped a schoolgirl, recorded the scene and released the footage. Faridpur police could not arrest the culprits two months into that incident.
Mamun said he was "in a relation’ with the class X student of Karimunnessa Girls' High School for the last one year.
He added he met the girl on her way to school a week before the Ramadan and lured her to the house of a lawyer, an acquaintance, on Shikarpur Rd ad to "discuss something import ant".
At one stage of their conversation Mamun raped the girl. He claims Monir Hossain alias 'Ganja' Monir. local locksmith Altaf Sheikh's son and a BNP activist, "secretly" recorded the rape in his cellphone.
He claims he deleted' the footage recorded by Monir but at the same time pins the blame on Monir for its release with the help of a cellphone repairer on Pourashava Road.
He also points finger at Alamkathi ward Jubo League leader Ramiz Sarder and district BCL joint general secretaries Sajib Khan Rana and Badsha Howlader for spreading" the footage to sideline him in business.
"The girl is my close rela-
tive and my family would soon arrange our wedding after consultation with her family." he claims.
Asked about the matter, 'Ganja' Monir said though he is member of a rival political group, he has been a very close friend of Mamun since childhood.
Monir admits the rape and recording it but says he had done it as "instructed" by Mamun. He says he has no idea how the footage hit the market.
The Daily Star correspondent acted as a buyer of pornography Saturday morning and bought a CD from a video shop in the town.
Speaking anonymously, the video shop owner said the CD was available in the market soon after the Eid but he does not know who are behind it
The family of the victim demanded exemplary punishment of everyone involved.
They said they would go for legal action, adding Mamun, an addict, is their close relative who used to tease the girl on her way to school.
Asked over phone, Officer-in-Charge of Sadar police Mir Fashiar Rahman expressed his ignorance but said he would look into the matter.
Superintendent of Police Md Shahidullah Chowdhury told The Daily Star they would seize the video footage from the market and take necessary action against the persons responsible.
