Police today (10 March) arrested a man for allegedly raping a 10-year-old in the Gulshan-Baridhara diplomatic area of the capital.

Gulshan Police Station Sub-Inspector (SI) Nayeem Uddin Sujan said the accused, Sajal Hossain Palash, 40, raped the child after finding her alone at home at around 11:30pm yesterday (9 March).

"When the child told her mother about the matter, her mother consulted her relatives and came to Gulshan Police Station to file a case against the accused," he added.
