Man arrested for sexually abusing 4 children in Dhaka's Khilgaon

A man allegedly sexually abused four children at different times, luring them with candy, in Dhaka's Khilgaon area.

The victims, aged between six and nine, were sent to one-stop crisis centre at Dhaka Medical College Hospital last night for medical tests.

Police arrested the accused, Sazal Mollah (55) -- a rickshaw puller -- after victims' families filed a case last evening in this regard, said Faruqul Alam, officer-in-charge of Khilgaon Police Station.

The OC said the children live near the accused's home in Goran area.

Quoting victims' families, police said, Sazal used to lure the children with candy to his home and sexually abused them. He had been doing this for several days.

The families came to know about it yesterday and filed a case under Women and Children Repression Prevention Act.

Sazal will be sent to court with a remand prayer today.
