SEREMBAN, Oct 14 — Police were looking for a Bangladeshi man for allegedly molesting a five-year-old girl at a curtain shop in Nilai 3, near here, on Wednesday.

Nilai district police chief Supt Mohd Nor Marzukee Besar said the suspect, identified as Alam, believed to have fled based on the raid carried out at the suspect’s home which failed to locate him.

“Police received a report from the victim’s mother on Wednesday at 11.30 pm, claiming at about 10pm on the same day, while she was at home, her five-year-old daughter (victim) had complained of pain at her private parts.

“The victim also told her mother that the perpetrator was known as Alam and the complainant who knows the suspect personally for six years subsequently lodged a police report,” he said in a statement here today.
