Verdict on Khadija murder attempt case 8 March
Sylhet: A Sylhet court will deliver the verdict in the case filed against Badrul Alam, the lone accused of attempting to murder Sylhet Government Women’s College student Khadija Akhter, on 8 March.
Sylhet Metropolitan Sessions Court Judge Akbar Hossain fixed the date on Sunday.
The court’s state prosecutor Misbah Uddin Siraj said the court fixed the date after concluding the refuting session.
On 5 December, a court started hearing the case filed against suspended Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) leader Badrul Alam for stabbing the college girl.
Khadija Akhter Nargis, daughter of Mashuk Miah of Biswanath upazila and a student of Sylhet Govt Women’s College, was stabbed on her way home from college on 3 October.
Badrul hacked Khadija mercilessly after she reportedly rejected his offer to have an affair with him.
Hearing the victim’s screams, locals rescued Khadija and caught Badrul from the spot and handed him over to police after giving him a good thrashing.
Khadija was taken to Sylhet Osmani Medical College Hospital from where she was moved to Dhaka for treatment.
