“Wound marks have been found on her genitals. Moreover, there were injury marks on the lips,” said the doctor requesting the press to wait for the details.

The kid left her apartment after taking permission from her mother to play with other neighbouring children as she did every day.
She remained missing since then. Her family called police after discovering the blood-stained body lying on the floor with a rope around the neck.
Abdus Salam, father of the deceased, filed a case under Women and Children Repression Prevention Act with Wari Police Station. Police on Saturday detained six people including the owner of the building for their suspected involvement, Wari Police OC Azizur Rahman told The Business Standard.
