The eight-year-old girl from Magura, who was undergoing treatment following a brutal assault, died at Dhaka's Combined Military Hospital (CMH) on Thursday at 1:00pm.

The verified Facebook page of the Bangladesh Army announced the heartbreaking news. The Army also expressed deep condolences over the incident.

The post stated, "With a profoundly heavy heart, we inform that the tortured child from Magura passed away today (13 March 2025) at 1:00 pm at the Combined Military Hospital (CMH), Dhaka. (Inna Lillahi wa Inna Ilayhi Raji'un)."
