7-year-old raped in Bagerhat
A seven-year-old girl has allegedly been raped by a man in Bagerhat Sadar upazila.
Her mother filed a case against Enam Sheikh, 22, of Mulghar village of the upazila, with Bagerhat Model Police Station on Thursday night.
Yesterday morning, the victim's mother said she and her younger child went to a doctor in Bagerhat town on January 5. Her husband went to work as he is a labourer. So, the victim was at home alone that day.
Taking the chance, Enam took her daughter to the back side of his father's shop and raped her, the mother said.
She said her daughter disclosed the incident and they informed Enam's elder brother Zakir Sheikh about it. He told them that he would look into the matter.
In the meantime, her daughter became physically and mentally weak. She informed Zakir and his father of the matter, but they did not take any action.
"I want justice for my daughter," the mother said.
Pannu Fakir, officer-in-charge (investigation) of Bagerhat Model Police Station, said, "I have recorded the case based on the complainant's allegations."
"Immediately after the case was lodged, we have started drives to arrest the accused. We are preparing to send the victim to Bagerhat Sadar Hospital for medical examinations."
