Stalker still at large

Seven days into stabbing of a college girl, police are yet to arrest the culprit, her stalker.

The 18-year-old victim is a first year honours student of Government Mominunnesa Girls' College in the town, and a resident of Fulbaria upazila. She is now undergoing treatment at Mymensingh Medical College Hospital.

A resident of the town, Abul Kashem, 22, distant cousin of the girl, often stalked the girl, said family members. The accused is a garment worker.

The girl used to stay at a mess beside the college.

On Friday afternoon, Kashem tricked the victim into going to nearby Ganginarpar area from her mess, saying that he had rectified himself and he needed Tk 200.

When the girl reached the area, Kashem stabbed her and fled the scene, said the victim's father, a local homoeopath.

Later, the girl's mother filed a case, accusing Kashem, said Khandaker Shaker Ahmed, officer-in-charge of Kotwali Police Station.

Police are raiding different areas to arrest the accused, said the OC.
