Her family said the girl, who recently passed SSC exams, was admitted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital’s One-Stop Crisis Centre on Monday.

They said she met a youth, who identified himself as ‘Tamim’ and a student of the Dhaka University, on Facebook two months ago.

The youth called the girl to Dhaka on Sunday and raped her overnight at a hotel in Motijheel, her father told bdnews24.com.

The family took her to the hospital when she returned on Monday afternoon, he said.

Motijheel Police Station Sub-Inspector Jamal Hossain said they were trying to trace the hotel and identify the alleged rapist.
