Police have arrested the son of a businessman for allegedly sexually harassing the wife of Bangladesh national team player Shakib Al Hasan. Umme Ahmed Shishir was allegedly harassed at Mirpur's Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium gallery on June 15 (Sunday) during Bangladesh-India one-day international (ODI) cricket match. Shakib, the former world No-1 all-rounder, filed a case the following day with Mirpur police over the incident. Mirpur police Sub-Inspector Md Rasel said they had arrested one 'Rahid', 23, son of businessman Bazlur Rahman, from his Banani residence today (Thursday). Rahid is one of the accused in the case filed by Shakib, he said. 'We are looking for several others based on the description given by Shakib,' Rasel, who is investigating the case said. Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) security staff had beaten up several of the harassers on the day when the game was halted due to rain. Witnesses said Shakib, too, had joined the BCB staff in the beating, according to bdnews24.com.
