A group of miscreants allegedly hacked a female student in Lakshmipur.
Farhana Akhter, a degree student under Bangladesh Open University, came under attack in the Chhoto Pool area of Shakharipara in the Lakshmipur town on Friday.
She was admitted to Lakhsmipur Sadar Hospital.
Farhana told journalists at the hospital that she was a resident of Bhangura in Pabna district and was staying with one Sabita Rani, who works for Lakshmipur Family
Planning, to appear for her degree exams at the Lakshmipur Government College centre. On Friday, after her exams, she went to the town bus terminal to get on a bus for home. But she failed to get tickets and was heading back to Sabita’s place when she was attacked.
Lakshmipur Sadar Hospital’s Resident Medical Officer Dr. Anwar Hossain said Farhana had injuries in her stomach and chest caused by sharp weapons.
Farhana told reporters she was married to and estranged from Dr Ashfaqur Rahman, the president of the Bangladesh Medical Association (BMA) Lakshmipur chapter.
She believed he was responsible for the attack. Dr Ashfaq, who is a deputy director (acting) at the Lakshmipur Health and Family Planning office, denied the marriage.
 “That woman is conspiring against me to extort money. She was already married and had a child from that marriage,” he said.
Farhana works as a paramedic for the project ‘MaMoni’ under Save the Children at the Mother and Children Welfare Centre in Lakshmipur.
Lakshmipur Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Khandakar Mohammad Shahnawaz and Sadar Station’s Officer-in-Charge (OC) Abdullah Al-Mamun Bhuiyan visited Farhana at the hospital and said they would carry out the necessary investigation and take measures.
Lakshmipur Deputy Commissioner Zillur Rahman Chowdhury also visited her and asked the hospital authorities to ensure her treatment. He also requested the police officials to ensure her safety.
