Sylhet: Showing a deep hatred to his misdeed, people from all walks of life here on Tuesday spat on the portraits of Badrul Alam, who hacked college girl Khadiza Akter Nargis.

Bangladesh Human Rights Journalists’ Commission organised the ‘symbolic spitting’ at the Sylhet Central Shaheed Minar in the morning with the theme: ‘Will not flee witnessing one in danger’.

Portraits of Badrul Alam, a student of Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, who was suspended for attempting on the life of Khadiza, were attached to two dustbins.

People from all strata, including teachers and students, spat on Badrul’s portraits to condemn the heinous attack on Khadiza, a student of Sylhet Govt Women’s College.  

Speakers urged all to resist such type of incident if happens before their eyes. They also demanded Badrul’s exemplary punishment.

On October 3, Khadiza was stabbed allegedly by SUST unit BCL leader Badrul Alam on her way home from college following the refusal of his proposal for having an affair with him.

Hearing the victim’s screams, locals rescued Khadiza and caught Badrul from the spot and handed him over to police after giving him a good thrashing.

Khadiza is now fighting with her life at Square Hospitals Ltd in the capital.
