According to family members, the child went missing after leaving home in the afternoon and did not return at night. Locals later found her in an unconscious state in a garden near the college gate in Taherpur Bazar.
She was initially taken to the Upazila Health Complex and later transferred to Rajshahi Medical College Hospital.
