Chawkbazar police station OC Azizul Haq said the incident took place around Friday midnight at the Islambagh Beribadh.

Moni Akter was raped and dumped near the barrage, he said.

The victim's family lives at Islambagh Beribadh. Her father is a boatman by profession.

Locals rushed her to the Mitford Hospital but doctors declared her dead on arrival.
Dr Sahdeb Raj Bongshi told bdnews24.com that the child had dark mark on her neck due to possible strangling and her private part was stained with blood.
He believes the child was raped and killed.
"However, a post-mortem examination will make things clear," he added.
No case has been filed over the incident until Saturday morning, Chawkbazar police said.
