The condition of the eight-year-old child from Magura has deteriorated further as she suffered two cardiac arrests on Wednesday morning.

A member of the Combined Military Hospital’s medical board overseeing the child’s treatment.

The victim remains on life support in the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) at the Combined Military Hospital (CMH) in Dhaka.

On March 1, the child’s mother had filed a case accusing her sister’s husband, father-in-law, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law of raping the child while she was visiting their house.

All four accused have been arrested and remanded.

The member of the medical board said, “She is now in the most critical stage. Her heart stopped beating around 8:00am but was revived. However, it stopped again a second time and was revived once more. Her brain remains unresponsive, with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 3.”
