OUR CORRESPONDENT, Netrokona

The doctor who treated an 11-year-old rape victim in Netrokona’s Madan upazila and later shared details of the case with the media has allegedly received death and rape threats.

Dr Sayma Akter, a gynaecologist at a diagnostic centre in the upazila, filed a general diary with Madan Police Station on Thursday, said the station’s Officer-in-Charge Mohammad Tarikul Islam.

“Police are taking her security concerns seriously,” the OC added.

According to the GD, the 11-year-old girl went to Dr Sayma on April 30 with medical complications. An examination found that she was 27 weeks pregnant. After speaking with the girl and her mother, the doctor learned that a teacher at the madrasa she attended had allegedly sexually abused her.
