12-Year-Old Hindu girl raped and murdered in Chattogram

It has been suspected that the victim, Srabanti Ghosh, was brutally raped and murdered. After the assault, her killers strangled her and staged the crime as a suicide by hanging her mortal remains—a final act of calculated cruelty intended to erase evidence, evade justice, and deny a child the dignity of truth in death. Srabanti was inside her own home. Between 10:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m., her mother worked to keep the family afloat, and her father labored away from home. The victim lived with her mother and younger brother in a one-room rented house on the ground floor of a building in the Panir Tanki Pahar area. The father lives on the KEPZ premises and visits the family once or twice a month. Speaking to the local media yesterday, the mother, Rosy Ghosh, said, "My children usually stay at my father-in-law's house near our home from morning to night, as my husband and I work. That night, my daughter was at her grandfather's house and returned home alone around 10:00pm while I was at work. "Around half an hour later, my father-in-law brought our son home and found the door ajar. When he opened it, he saw Srabanti hanging. I rushed home immediately after receiving his call. "Srabanti's feet were still planted on the bed -- something that would not have been the case if it were a suicide. "My daughter was just a minor; she didn't even know what suicide was."
