A seven-year-old boy was sexually abused allegedly by one of his neighbouring boys in Ambagan area of the district town on Wednesday.

The boy, also a nursery student at a local school, is now undergoing treatment at Bogra Shaheed Ziaur Rahman Medical College Hospital (SZMCH).

Victim's mother Sobita Begum, a resident of Nishindha Mondalpara village, said Mashkurur Rahman Tarek, son of Toyez Uddin, also a Class IX student at local school, lured the boy to a nearby mango orchard by offering sweetmeats in the afternoon.
