Bir Protik Kakon Bibi hospitalised
Kakon Bibi Bir Protik, an indigenous freedom fighter, has been hospitalised for three days due to old age complications.
She is undergoing treatment in Cabin No-8 of Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College Hospital. The hospital's doctors said she needs better eye treatment.
Kakon Bibi worked as a war spy and directly fought the Pakistani occupation army during the 1971 Liberation War. During the war, she was arrested and brutally tortured by the army.
She was born in a Khasi family in early 60s. Later, she got married and changed her name to Nurjahan Begum from Kakon Hennyata.
However, she is currently known as Kakon Bibi.
Hailing from Khasi hills at Sunamganj border, Kakon Bibi is now living with her family in Sunamganj's Doarabazar upazila where the government built a house for her.
