A five-year-old girl was allegedly raped in Fatullah, Narayanganj, on Saturday, May 23, 2026. The incident occurred around 11 a.m. at a rented house in Paschim Talla, where the accused, 48-year-old Anwar, reportedly entered the child’s room under the pretext of charging his mobile phone. Local residents detained Anwar the following day and handed him over to Fatullah Model Police Station. Police confirmed that both families lived in adjacent rooms in the same building.

According to the child’s mother, most tenants had gone to their villages for Eid holidays, leaving the house nearly empty. She said that Anwar took advantage of the situation to commit the assault. The victim’s parents, both garment workers, were away at their workplaces during the incident. Upon returning home at night, the mother learned of the assault from her daughter.

Fatullah Model Police Station’s officer-in-charge Mahbubur Alam stated that the child was sent for medical examination and that legal proceedings are underway. The incident occurred just one day after another child rape case was reported in the same area.
