Judge Nobanita Guha of the Cognisance Court-2 denied the bail of the accused Abul Kamal alias Bechu Majhi, 35 and sent him to jail upon his surrender.
The court also granted remand for two other accused -- Abul Bashar and Yusuf Majhi – for 3 days and 2 days respectively in the case.
According to the case statement, a mother of six children was gang-raped while her husband was tied to a banana tree in Noakhali's Subarnachar upazila on March 31 as part of a dispute over an upazila vice chairman’s race.
Later, the victim's husband filed a case with Char Jabbar Police Station on Monday, accusing 12 people, including four unnamed.
In another development in the case, Resident Medical Officer of Noakhali General Hospital Syed Mohiuddin Abdul Azim said the victim underwent all the required medical tests, where they found evidence of her being rape.
The report was sent to the police superintendent of Noakhali district, he said.
The vile incident took place three months after a mother of four children was gang-raped in the same upazila allegedly for voting for “sheaf of paddy” in the December 30 national election.
