The hanging body of a nine-year-old girl was recovered in Madaripur`s Dasar upazila on Wednesday.

The dead Meghla was the daughter of Bides Sarkar of Dhabji village under Gopalpur union. She was a third grader at a local primary school.

According to police, Meghla`s father found her hanging from the ceiling of her room in the afternoon. She was rescued and taken to Kalkini Upazila Health Complex where the on-duty doctor declared her dead.

Meghla`s mother cried and said, `Meghla used to make videos. She opened Tiktok ID.`

Dasar Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Mahmud-ul Hasan said police visited the spot. Legal action will be taken in this regard, he added.
