At least six more rape incidents came to light on Thursday, as three adolescent girls at Mugda and two children at Khilgaon in the capital Dhaka were allegedly raped amid a rise in violence against women and children in the country in recent weeks.
Apart from the five at Mugda and Khilgaon, a 22-year-old girl was admitted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital Thursday morning as she was reportedly raped on October 10, 2024, said Hatirjheel police station officer-in-charge Raju Ahmed.
