’Sexual assault case’
In December 2014 film actress Naznin Akhtar Happy filed a lawsuit against Rubel Hossain, accusing him of luring her into an affair with false promises of marriage. She said she and Hossain had been in a relationship for [since roughly March 2014], but he refused to marry her.
In May 2015 a Bangladesh court threw out sexual assault charges filed by Happy against Hossain, and acquitted him.
A police report which found no proof of the charges against Hossain was accepted by Dhaka's Fifth Women and Child Repression Prevention Tribunal, which also scrapped a "non-acceptance" plea by Happy.
Her lawyer, Tuhin Hawlader, said they would appeal against the order in the High Court.
