A news presenter of Ekattor TV has filed a case against its Head of News Shakil Ahmed on charges of establishing a sexual relationship with her on a false promise of marriage.
She alleged that Shakil Ahmed had also forced her to abort the seven-month-old fetus.
The case was filed under the Women and Children Repression Prevention Act with Gulshan police on Thursday night.
From a press conference on November 3, Dr Trina Islam said that accused had influenced her employer to dismiss her from the Institute of Epidemiology Disease Control and Research (IEDCR) on that day.
She said that Shakil Ahmed had promised her the job of a news presenter when she submitted a CV seven months ago and established a romantic relationship with her.
When she later became pregnant, the accused forced her to abort the fetus, and subsequently refused to marry her claiming that she had cheated on him.
