Taking obscene shots of his wife with a hidden camera, Sharifur Rahman shared the footage on

Facebook and demanded Tk 10 lakh from her.

The Detective Branch of Dhaka Metropolitan Police on Wednesday arrested Sharif, a student of a private university.

The arrestee had been blackmailing his wife, a public university student, for dowry' since they got married in July last year, the victim told this correspondent yesterday.

The footage was uploaded on a fake Facebook account.

"At one point, I realised that as the footage was up on the internet for all to see, I had nothing more to hide. So I filed a case with Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station on Wednesday morning and spoke about the ordeal I have been going through, hoping that it would help me get justice," said the victim.

DB police produced the arrestee before a Dhaka court yesterday and prayed for his remand in the case.

Rejecting the remand prayer, the court sent Sharif to jail and fixed Sunday for hearing on a bail prayer of the accused, said Mahmuda Afroze Lucky, assistant commissioner of the DB.

The accused was arrested in October last year on the same charge, only to be released on bail. Since then, the couple have been living separately and Sharif has been up to his old tricks again.

The victim now spends her days fearing harassment by people who might have seen the video footage on Facebook.
