Savar: Khadija Akter, a student of Sylhet Government Women’s College who was undergoing treatment at Square Hospital after being hacked by a BCL leader in Sylhet, was shifted to Savar Centre for the Rehabilitation of the Paralysed (CRP) hospital on Monday.

Khadija was taken to the CRP in an ambulance at about 11:20am, 55 days after the incident.

Khadija will remain under the care of Syed Uddin Helal, the chief of neurology department of the hospital.

Helal said a medical team will work for her treatment in a coordinated way as Khadija cannot move independently and her left hand has turned paralysed.  

Talking to reporters at the hospital, Khadija said she is feeling well and urged all to pray for her early recovery.

Four policemen were deployed at the CRP for her security.

On October 3, Khadija Begum Nargis, 23, daughter of Masuk Miah of Biswanath upazila, was stabbed by Badrul, a BCL leader of its Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST), on her way home from college following the refusal of his proposal for having an affair with him.

On October 5, Badrul Alam confessed to hacking Khadija in his confessional statement under section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPc).
