A seventh grader was raped by two men on her way home from school in Moulvibazar’s Kulaura upazila on Thursday.

The girl is currently being treated at Moulvibazar Sadar Hospital.
Dr Partha Sarathi Datta, superintendent of the hospital, said they had found rape evidence after conducting some initial tests on the girl.
