Metropolitan Police in London are searching for two Bangladeshi nationals in connection with the rape of a 13-year-old girl in East London, offering a reward for information regarding their whereabouts.
Police recently released photographs of the two suspects, identified as Shaukat Ahmed and Jahidul Hasan, appealing to the public for assistance in locating them following the severe assault.
Investigating officers suspect that both individuals fled public view shortly after the appeal, with Ahmed believed to still be within the UK while Hasan may have returned to Bangladesh.
According to the victim's statement, the two men approached her on Whitechapel Road before forcibly taking her to Weavers Fields, where the sexual assault occurred on August 1, 2024, before a local resident rescued her.
Alexa Loukas, London Regional Manager at Crimestoppers, described the incident as a deeply traumatic attack and emphasized that locating the two suspects is critical to advancing the ongoing investigation.
The independent charity Crimestoppers has announced a reward of up to £10,000 for any anonymous information that leads to the identification and arrest of the two suspects.Metropolitan Police in London are searching for two Bangladeshi nationals in connection with the rape of a 13-year-old girl in East London, offering a reward for information regarding their whereabouts.
