‘Punish stalker'
Women in Netrakona yesterday demanded exemplary punishment of the stalker who hacked a college girl on Tuesday.
Kendua Upazila Nari Forum made the demand at a human chain programme, protesting the hacking of the girl.
The victim Jannatul, daughter of freedom fighter Abdul Latif of Pathairkandi village in Itna upazila of Kishoreganj, is an HSC second year student at Parvin Siraj Mahila College in Kendua and lives in a rented house at Shantinagar in the upazila headquarters.
She is now undergoing treatment at Mymensingh Medical College Hospital.
Emon, 22, son of Mohor Ali of Gagda village in Kendua, used to stalk the girl and proposed a relationship, which the girl declined, police said.
Victim's niece Juma Akter said she and Jannatul were going to a classmate's house on Tuesday when Emon came and hit Jannatul on the head with a machete. When people rushed to the spot, he fled the scene, Juma said.
Emon was arrested on Tuesday.
Victim's father lodged a case with Kendua Police Station, accusing Emon, on Wednesday.
Police produced Emon before a court on Wednesday with a prayer for a seven-day remand and the court granted a three-day remand, said Officer-in-Charge (investigation) Swapon Chandra Sarker.
