Abdur Rahim, a 62-year-old resident of Chatmohor Thana in Pabna district, was the victim of an acid attack on July 4, 2024, at around 7:30 AM. The attack was perpetrated by a neighbor with whom Rahim had been in conflict over a land dispute for the past three years. The neighbor had illegally occupied and cultivated Rahim’s land, leading Rahim to file a case with the police. The court ruled in Rahim’s favor, affirming his ownership of the land, but the neighbor refused to relinquish possession. This prolonged conflict ultimately escalated to the horrific acid attack.
During the attack, acid severely burned Rahim’s chest, neck, lower body, genital area, knees, and stomach. His relatives immediately poured water on the affected areas before he was rushed to Chatmohor Health Complex. Later that day, he was transferred to Dhaka and admitted to the Sheikh Hasina Burn and Plastic Surgery Institute. Although one surgery has been completed, Rahim’s condition remains critical, and doctors have indicated that he will require additional operations. However, due to his weakened physical condition, he is not yet fit for further surgeries.
Abdur Rahim requires a diet rich in protein and nutrients to aid his recovery. His family reached out to ASF for financial support to ensure he receives the necessary nutritious food. In response, ASF provided 30,000 Taka to assist with his dietary needs and other expenses.
Rahim’s daughter, Bonna Khatun, expressed her gratitude, saying, “This support is a tremendous blessing for us. ASF has given more than we expected. We will never forget their kindness and are deeply grateful.”
Your contribution can be preventing acid attacks and helping the survivors live life with peace, happiness, and dignity.
