The Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) has arrested Md. Anwar, the prime accused in the rape of a six-year-old girl in Jorarganj, Chattogram. The arrest took place on February 27, 2026, at Khan City Center in the Baraiyarhat area, following a directive from Chattogram-1 (Mirsharai) Member of Parliament Nurul Amin. The victim’s parents had sought justice from the MP on February 23, prompting him to instruct authorities to ensure the suspect’s swift arrest.

According to RAB, the incident occurred on February 11 when the child went to play at Anwar’s house and was later found crying, alleging that he had assaulted her. The victim’s mother discovered signs of physical harm, and the child was taken first to Mirsharai Upazila Health Complex and later referred to Chattogram Medical College Hospital. A case was filed under the Women and Children Repression Prevention Act on February 13.

RAB-7 officials confirmed that Anwar was handed over to Jorarganj police for legal proceedings, and the police later produced him before the court.
