Neutral summary
Rab, in a press release, said it arrested Hridoy Hasan alias Rakib (19), the main accused in a rape case in Ulipur, Kurigram, from in front of Delta Hospital in Dhaka's Darus Salam area on Thursday evening, handing him over to Ulipur police. According to the case complaint, the girl was called to a madrasa on 30 June, where a teacher allegedly attempted to rape her; Rakib then allegedly raped her several times in another room on promise of marriage. The victim's grandfather filed the case at Ulipur police station. The Ulipur investigating officer said the accused was sent to Kurigram district jail via court on Saturday (24 October). Desh TV, citing an SRB press release signed by its media director, gave the arrest date as 22 October and said the accused had a relationship with the girl and that teacher Shahidul Islam was also named as an accused.
Where accounts differ. Amar Sangbad says Rab made the arrest and does not name the teacher, while Desh TV says the arrest was by SRB, dates it to 22 October, and names teacher Shahidul Islam as an accused; the outlets also differ on whether the girl had a relationship with Rakib, which Desh TV alone reports.

About this method
Method. Bias types follow the Table of Media Bias Elements and the Media Bias Taxonomy (both CC BY 4.0). The impartiality rules follow the BBC Editorial Guidelines and the Ofcom Broadcasting Code. This analysis was made by claude-opus-5-5 on rubric 1.0.0. The score is calculated from the seven answers, never generated.
What this is not. No outlet gets a standing bias rating, and there is no left/right axis, because that axis does not describe Bangladeshi politics. Each analysis covers one article about one event. Members' analytics count how each outlet's headlines were labelled over a chosen period, with the number of headlines behind every share, and also show the average score of an outlet's scored articles: that average describes those articles (mostly each story's lead), not the outlet, and outlets are never ranked by it or by any share.
Known limits. Headlines are grouped into stories automatically, so an unrelated headline sometimes slips in; it is shown faded rather than hidden. Where outlets carry the same wire copy, the comparison has little to show. Human annotators agree on bias in Bangla news only moderately (κ = 0.574 at best), which limits what any automated score can claim.
