The 14 year old girl was accused of having relations with her cousin, a married man.
After being found guilty, the village court sentenced her to 80 lashes - a punishment in the Koran.
She later died, most likely as a result of the harsh punishment she received.
Interesting how 'moderates' will come to the Koran's defense over fellow humans.
"Her family members said she was admitted to a hospital after the incident and she died six days later. The village elders also asked the girl's father to pay a fine of about 50,000 Taka (£430; $700)," district superintendent of police, AKM Shahidur Rahman, told the BBC.
He said it had not been established yet whether she died because of the punishment she received or another reason.
"We are still waiting for the post-mortem report. In the meantime, we are also looking for another 14 people including a teacher from a local madrassa in connection with this case," Mr Rahman said.
Nearly 90% of Bangladesh's estimated 160 million population are Muslims, most of whom practise a moderate version of Islam.
Define moderate.
