Attack on Khadiza: Ex-BCL man indicted for murder attempt
Sylhet college student Khadiza Begum Nargis' lone attacker Badrul Alam was indicted yesterday by a Sylhet court.
Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Saifuzzaman Hiru, following the charge framing, set December 5 for the trial to begin by recording depositions, said Mahfuzur Rahman, public prosecutor.
The court also dismissed Badrul's bail petition, he added.
On October 3, Badrul Alam, a fourth-year economics student at Shahjalal University of Science and Technology and also senior assistant secretary of the Sust unit of Bangladesh Chhatra League, attacked Khadiza with a machete on the campus of MC College in Sylhet.
Khadiza, 23, a second-year Bachelor of Arts (pass course) student at Sylhet Government Women's College, went to MC College that day to attend the second exam of her 2nd year final exams.
Badrul was sent to Sylhet jail by a court the same day when police produced him before it after locals and students caught and handed him over to police.
On October 4, Khadiza's uncle Abdul Quddus filed a case with Shah Paran Police Station, accusing Badrul Alam for the attack on his niece.
The next day, on October 5, Badrul in his confessional statement before the court of Sylhet Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Ummey Sharaban Tahura, confessed to hacking Khadiza Begum Nargis with an intention to kill her.
On November 8, Harun Ur Rashid, sub-inspector of Shah Paran Police Station, filed charge sheet against Badrul for attempted murder.
On November 15, Ummey Sharaban Tahura, additional chief metropolitan magistrate, accepted the charge sheet against Badrul and forwarded it to the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court.
