A sixth-grade student was found unconscious with tape over her mouth at Chhatrogacha Secondary School in Mirpur upazila of Kushtia on Thursday night. Locals broke into the school around 8:30 p.m. and discovered the girl in a third-floor room after the school peon tried to prevent them from entering. Police were alerted through the emergency number 999, and the school’s office assistant and night guard were taken into custody for questioning.

The girl had attended an SSC farewell event earlier that day and did not return home by evening, prompting her family to search for her. She was first taken to Mirpur Upazila Health Complex and later referred to Kushtia General Hospital for advanced treatment. Hospital authorities reported multiple injury marks on her body and said she remained in critical condition in the gynecology ward.

Police stated that the case is being treated with utmost seriousness and that legal action will follow once the medical examination report is received.
