Injured madrasa girl cannot return home
A female madrasa student of eighth grade has been staying away from her home in Kulaura upazila of Moulvibazar as her stalker, who stabbed her on June 30, has been making threats on her and her family to withdraw a case against him.
The girl’s family filed the case with Kulaura police station the day after the attack.
According to the case statement, Ruhul Amin, 22, son of Monaf Mia from a neighbouring village, along with two others stopped the girl on her way to the madrasa in the morning and demanded her to accept his marriage proposal.
As she refused, Ruhul and his accomplices beat her up with bamboo sticks and at one stage, they started hacking her with sharp weapons.
When locals responded to her cry for help, the attackers fled the scene.
Dr Zakir Hossain, resident medical officer of Kulaura Upazila Health Complex, said the injured girl was initially admitted to the health complex and later transferred to Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College Hospital.
Afraid of possible repercussions, the girl and her family have been staying at undisclosed locations after she was released from the hospital.
Family members of the girl said they could not return home out of security concern as no security was provided for them despite repeated threats made by the attackers, roaming free in the area.
Asked about the alleged threats made by the accused, the police station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Yardous Hasan said Ruhul secured bail after he surrendered before a court on July 8.
However, following the report of threats, they were conducting raids to arrest all the accused, he also said.
