Police have uncovered a shocking incident of gang rape of a 13-year-old girl before murder in Dhaka's Dakshinkhan area.

The eighth-grader was abducted on January 16 and later gang-raped and murdered, but the crime came to light after her body was recovered from the Hatirjheel area yesterday [February 2], said Rawnaq Jahan, deputy commissioner (DC) of the Uttara Division, in a press briefing today.

Two suspects, Robin Hossain, 32, and Rabbi Mridha, 26, were arrested on January 30 in Sreepur of Gazipur, in connection with the crime, said the Uttara DC.

Her father filed a general diary (GD) with Dakshinkhan Police Station on January 19 and later lodged a kidnapping case on January 27 after learning from locals that a group of men had abducted her in a private car near Joynal Market in Dakshinkhan.

Using technological assistance, police traced the suspects through the victim's mobile number and arrested Robin and Rabbi.

The duo was remanded for two days following a court order on January 31.

During interrogation, they admitted to their involvement in the crime and led police to recover the victim's body from a roadside slope in Hatirjheel at 8:45am yesterday [Sunday].

In their confession under Section 164 of the Criminal Procedure Code, Robin and Rabbi revealed that they trapped the victim and took her to a house in Mohakhali, where the duo along with three others gang-raped her after tying her hands, feet, and face.

Fearing the girl might die from the brutal assault, they planned to dispose of her body. Later that night, they wrapped her body in a bag and dumped it near Hatirjheel using a rickshaw.

Police are now working to apprehend the remaining suspects involved in the gang rape and murder, added the police official.
