A four-year-old girl named Fahima Akter was sexually assaulted and murdered in Sylhet after going out to buy biscuits. Police arrested her uncle, Zakir Hossain, from Sonatola village in Sylhet Sadar upazila on Monday night. Zakir, son of the late Tota Mia, reportedly confessed during initial questioning that he lured the child into his home, assaulted her, and then killed her. He allegedly wrapped the body in a scarf, placed it in a bag, and dumped it near a pond, claiming he was under the influence of drugs at the time.
Following news of the arrest, residents of the area erupted in anger. Late at night, locals surrounded the Jalalabad police station and staged protests, with some attacking and vandalizing the accused’s house. The incident has cast a shadow of grief and fear over the community. Police said the suspect is being held in custody and will be presented before court.
Fahima had gone missing on May 6 after leaving home to buy biscuits. Her body was recovered two days later near a pond close to her house.
