Police arrested a man from Begumganj's Kalirhat Bazar for reportedly raping a third grader in Noakhali.
The accused, Abul Khair, 45, is a local dressmaker, and the nine-year-old went to his shop to submit the measurement for one of her dresses on Tuesday afternoon.
Finding her alone, the tailor took the child behind his shop and raped her, police say.
When her family came to know about the incident, they took the injured child to Noakhali General Hospital and informed police.
Speaking to Dhaka Tribune Begumganj police station OC Harun-or-Rashid said: "We arrested the accused Abul Khair from his shop right after we came to know about the incident.
"The child’s mother filed a case with the Begumganj police station today," the OC added.
