A Pregnant Woman and her mother under an acid attack at Chadpur
Mili Akhter (20) and her mother Rasheda Begum (55) became survivors of an acid attack on 25th February, 2024 at Motlob, Chanpur. Both are currently undergoing treatment at the Sheikh Hasina National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery in Dhaka. Mili Akhtar’s condition is critical.
Perpetrator Shafiqul Islam harassed Mili Akhtar in many ways before her marriage. A year ago, Mili Akhtar got married to Md. Sayem. A few days ago Mili came to visit her father’s house in Sujatpur. After dinner on that night, Mili fell asleep in the same bed with her mother. The miscreants threw acid on them through the open window of the house at night and escaped.
They were burnt and screamed. Hearing their screams, other family members and neighbors came there. They rescued two seriously injured and took them to Matlab Uttar Upazila Health Complex. After that they were referred to Sheikh Hasina National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery in Dhaka for better treatment.
Mili’s father filed a case against Shafiqul Islam and another person at Matlab North Police Station on 26th February, 2024. Police arrested a man named Shafiqul Islam Manik (25).
A representative from ASF visited them in the Sheikh Hasina National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery to know their condition and advised them to contact ASF if they required our assistance.
