UNB, Sylhet :
College student Khadiza Akhter, who has been undergoing treatment at Savar Centre for the Rehabilitation of the Paralysed (CRP) hospital after being stabbed by a BCL leader, is going to return home in a day or two.
“Khadiza’s condition has improved much. Now she can go back home within a day or two,” said Dr Syed Uddin Helal, head of medical service and consultant neurosurgeon of CRP, at a press conference at the CRP on Thursday.
“After three months of physiotherapy, Khadiza is now can do his normal activities without any assistance from others. But, it’ll take 5-6 years for the recovery of her head injuries,” the physician added.
Khadiza, a second-year degree student of Sylhet Govt Mohila College, was stabbed by Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST) unit BCL leader Badrul Alam on her way home from MC College after appearing at an examination on October 3, following the refusal of his proposal for having a love affair with him.
Hearing the victim’s screams, other students rescued Khadiza, caught Badrul and handed him over to police after giving him a good thrashing.
Khadiza was first taken to Sylhet Osmani Medical College Hospital from where she was moved to Square Hospitals in Dhaka as her condition deteriorated.
She was moved to CRP from the Square Hospitals on November 28.
On November 8, police pressed charges of attempt to murder against Badrul who was later indicted in the case.
