A 3-year-old boy was allegedly sexually assaulted by a 14-year-old teenager in Sylhet's Bishwanath upazila on Sunday.
"On Monday, we detained the accused after the child's father filed a police complaint," Ramaprasad Chakraborty, Inspector (investigation) of the Bishwanath police station, told UNB on Tuesday.
According to the case statement, the teenager lured the child with some chocolates when the latter was playing at a neighbour's house on Sunday afternoon. The accused then took the child to a room and "sodomized him".
A plea will be made to send the teenager to a correctional facility, the OC said.
The child is currently at the One Stop Crisis Center (OCC) of Sylhet Osmani Medical College and Hospital for a medical examination, he added.
