6th-grader dies by suicide after being raped in Rajshahi
A sixth-grader has died by suicide in Rajshahi after she was raped allegedly by her brother-in-law.
The culprit also pressurised the victim's family to cover up the incident, reports our Rajshahi correspondent.
The incident took place in Puthia of Rajshahi around 5:00pm on Thursday.
The 12-year-old girl left a note on her bed, where she recounted her brother-in-law's crime.
Police recovered the body from her home, said Md Abdul Mazid, a sub-inspector of Puthia Police Station.
The alleged rapist, 28, and his father went into hiding after the incident. Police have arrested the culprit's mother in a case filed last night in this connection, SI Abdul Mazid said.
The victim's elder sister got married three months ago. The girl went to live with her sister at her in-laws' 15 days after the wedding.
On January 25, the accused drugged her and raped her, her parents claimed.
She eventually disclosed the matter to her parents.
