Miscreants set fire to madrasa girl in city

A girl student of a madrasa in city's Mirpur received burn injuries when miscreants threw flammable liquid and fire stick on it through a window of a room of the institution last night.
Shanta Islam, 15, a student of class seven of Talimul Islam Madrasa was rushed to Dhaka Medical College Hospital's burn unit immediately. Doctors said she received 8 percent burn injuries but her condition is stable.
Madrasa staff and classmates of Shanta told police that she was taking care of a child of a female teacher at the ground floor of the six-story institution when some miscreants threw the liquid about 8:00pm.
Officer-in-charge of Mirpur Police Station Kazi Wazed Ali told The Daily Star that incident might be a sequel to throwing water and bottles by the madrasa students into nearby slum a few days ago.
