A 73-year-old man was arrested by the local people on charges of raping a 3-year-old child in Ashulia, Savar and handed over to the police. Later, the police arrested him and took him to the police station.

The old man was arrested from a house in the Bogabari Bazar area of ​​Ashulia last night.

The arrested Abdus Samad is the son of the deceased Hamed Ali of Thakur Laxmikol area under Naldanga police station in Natore district. He lives in a rented house in the Bogabari area of ​​Ashulia.

Locals said that on Sunday evening, the victim and several other children went to the old man’s house. After a while, the rest of the children left the house, but the victim stayed at the old man’s house for some time. Later, the accused old man himself took the child and delivered it to his mother.

During this time, the child’s mother noticed some changes in her daughter and realized that she had been raped. Later, when the accused old man was questioned, he cleverly fled the scene. Later, the owner of the house assured the child’s family that the matter would be resolved.

Then, last Monday, the local Baishah workers called the old man and tried to resolve the matter in exchange for money. But when the matter was not resolved, the matter became known among the people in the area.

On Tuesday evening, locals arrested the accused old man and informed the police. Upon receiving the information, the police reached the spot and arrested the old man and took him to the police station.
