4-yr-old raped in Jashore
A four-and-a-half-year-old girl was allegedly raped by one of her neighbours in Jashore's Chaugachha upazila yesterday afternoon.
The child was undergoing treatment at Jashore Medical College Hospital.
The victim's mother said her daughter was playing near their house around 3:00pm.
At that time, her neighbour Raihan took her to his house saying that he would give her quail eggs. Raihan raped the girl there, the mother alleged.
Hearing the child screaming, her family members, along with some locals, rescued her. Accused Raihan, however, managed to flee.
The victim was admitted to Chougachha Health Complex with injuries. As her condition deteriorated, she was later shifted to Jashore Medical College Hospital.
Arif Ahmed, resident medical officer at the hospital, said medical examinations were being carried out to ascertain whether the child was raped.
Saiful Islam Sabuj, officer-in-charge of Chougachha Police Station, said they were conducting drives to nab the rape accused.
