A seven-year-old girl was reportedly raped after being abducted from her home. It has been confirmed that two teenage boys have been arrested in connection with the alleged attack that took place last Thursday (June 4).
The suspects allegedly abducted the girl from her home before locking her inside a public toilet. They then reportedly took turns raping her before fleeing the area. The girl reported the alleged attack to her family before the suspects were arrested on Sunday (June 7).
As reported by The Country Today, the girl was raped in the village of West Para, located in the Faridpur District of Dhaka in Bangladesh.
Sunamganj Superintendent of Police, A B M Zakir Hossain, confirmed the arrests on Sunday. He added that the investigation is ongoing.
After being allegedly raped in the toilet, the girl returned home and reported the attack to her parents. She was also taken to the hospital due to internal bleeding.
Local doctor Bashir Ahmad said he “provided medication” to stop the bleeding. However, her condition worsened on Sunday, and she was taken to the Tahirpur Upazila Health Complex for further treatment.
Police Inspector Sushankar Pal confirmed the victim was provided “comprehensive” medical care before being discharged from hospital. She is now at home recovering.
The suspects appeared before the Sunamganj Child Court on Sunday. The judge then ordered them to be sent to the Juvenile Development Center in Gazipur.
